@@VietFCE Your channel is exceptional. Thank you from Spain. I need it because I want to pass the C2 test this year. 🙂

[@paulthepole]

These tests seem to be easier than, say, the official Cambridge Proficiency exam papers, ie. the mock test and past exams.

15/30, the man's accent in part 2 is enormously incomprehensible for me

[@VietFCE]

Keep going

[@aa23aaa66]

Thank you very much. Today I scored 17/30. I keep doing test. ❤❤❤

[@VietFCE]

Great! Keep going.

[@josefamarques3001]

I got 23, my best one so far .. thank youuu

[@VietFCE]

23/30 is really a good score. Keep it up.

[@lilyfaul]

29 out of 30. At first I put C in 17 but then changed it to B and it spoiled the picture. Well, I'll just keep practising, thanks a lot for these videos

[@VietFCE]

wow, excellent score! Keep it up.

[@unknown._user-1010]

re-attempted this after over 4 months and got 21/30

[@aa23aaa66]

Thank you very much!

[@VietFCE]

You're welcome

Which part of the reading you have in the other videos, are in the same test as this?

[@niklassebastian]

Hey there! Regarding item 16: While I can see why C is correct, I need help understanding why D is incorrect. Can anyone point it out for me, please? 21:00 "i've been told that having been born in the mountains means that our bodies have already compensated for the lack of oxygen by having bigger lungs and more red blood cells" Regarding item 24, I can't hear any indication whatsoever that the speaker wants to appear open-minded (G). Would be greatly appreciated if anyone could explain this as well!

[@marinalimosnel8260]

Yes, for sure. The listening says something that due to running in mountains, ethiopians are used to the climate. Therefore they have bigger lungs (because they are used to that "habitat" which led them to be able to breath better)

[@saxson911]

D is incorrect for the word "unusual", which implies that there maybe an unexpeted genetic mutation before birth. But the physical attribute is obviously commonly seen in Ethiopia.

[@deoxyribonucleicacid2540]

Very thankful for these videos, I have to ask however, does anyone have any documents that have the entire test? I would like to practice my reading and use of english as well as writing but I haven't had much luck in finding books with cpe tests. If you have access to pdfs like these, would you please share them? Thank you.

[@conradgessner4582]

Are these actual past papers from the CPE exam? I'm grateful for your uploads, as there is a huge deficiency in C2 listening practice resources online, yet I'd like to make sure the level of excercises is relevant. People who have sat this exam often say listenings from C2 coursebooks are too simplistic. Hopefull it is not the case with the ones you upload, right?

[@VietFCE]

I'm afraid you can't find actual paper C2 Tests from my channel or any other channels (as far as I know). These are all practice tests which are actual C2 format. It can be somewhat different from what we learn/practice and what we are tested. The thing is, the more we practice the better we will do. I suggest you go through as many tests from my channel as possible to get your own idea of what the test is all about.

[@bosu6300]

took the test a week ago but the videos keep getting recomended xd

[@VietFCE]

How is your test going? Can you share for us some sort of information?

[@eprohoda]

wow~this is cool dude! 🤟

[@VietFCE]

I'm glad to hear that 😁

[@saxson911]

Why Q26 is C? "what really struck me is how much information there was attached to each enclosure. And I wasn't the only person engaging in it either..." Why is it "the educational resources" ? And How H is the correct answer for Q30? "Seeing them close up must be awesome" How is this "interaction between animal and humans" ? Eye contact? I'm pretty sure that snakes are myopia. They sense us using infrared detection.
