Hi there Katia, your video is super informative. I recently passed my C2 Proficiency exam at grade B and scored 215. I really love your channel, I hope we will get to make a video or a podcast together. I’ve landed on this video because today I’ve posted a video about the exam preparation books I used for my C2 Preparation preparation journey. Keep up the excellent work!

[@Englishbits]

Congrats! I think I had the same score! 🎉

[@StayTiny03]

After I read that I need to score at least 200/230to pass I’ve been feeling a little tense and uneasy. In February I am to start preparation classes for the proficiency exam but I’m quite afraid of not passing and not fulfilling my dream followed by disappointing my parents. I’ve set my mind to learn, read, watch movies/documentaries and study every spare minute that I have and I hope that until June I’ll be well prepared to sit for the exam and pass with flying colors.

[@Englishbits]

Remember that nothing is impossible and with hard work and perseverance everything is achievable! And satisfaction after achieving your dream is immense! 💪

From my previous experience in studying for the CAE, I found out particularly useful editing flashcards with an application called CRAM. It definitely helped me to get 200 points out of 200 in the use of English section. That strategy made studying idioms, phrasal verbs and vocabulary more challenging and amusing while you are fully aware of your progress. As regards listening, you can always try to test yourself by increasing the speed of the KZbin clips and the reduce it to check if you were right. Thank you for the video!

[@Englishbits]

Thanks a lot for your recommendations!! Wow, you excelled in UOE!! 👏👏 As for the apps, I use Quizlet and I heard about Wocabulary, but not about CRAM. I'll try it out. Also it's a great tip to improve listening skills. Thanks!! 😁 Have you started preparing the Proficiency yet?

It's hard to give advice in a few lines on such a vast topic. I'd say, try to use a wide range of vocabulary, linkers, some interesting grammar structures (I have a video on 5 ones), paraphrase in order not to get stuck... If you get to speak with sb in English, that will help you a lot! 😉💪

Hi! I passed the CAE exam with a C 3 months ago! Now I'm looking for a job in a local council (because it gives me that necessary relaxed mood to enjoy life without being too stressed) and I'm studying to take, sooner or later, a second law degree at university (I already own one in English language and literature) and even though I was uncertain at first because of my idea that the most important thing is showing that you can speak and write a language properly without taking linguistic certification exams!! Hence a very pragmatic way of thinking and acting! But in the end, as I said, I took the C1 just to add something in my CV; it took me 3 months and a half to get ready! Now I'm thinking about taking the Proficiency exam; but not now because I need to take some hard exams at university and because I'm taking the DELE C1 spanish exam next month! I've already purchased some books for it! Apart from exercising on as many sample exams as possible, could you give me some useful advice? Thanks a lot! Oh, and by the way: I'm italian :-)

Being an English teacher, don’t you think sometimes it makes a little more difficult to internalize new things? I mean, I’m also a teacher, and I often have to simplify my vocabulary in order to make myself understood by most of the students. Even speaking English everyday, I don’t feel like I have lots of opportunities to apply new vocab, sentence structure, phrasal verbs, and idioms in my classes. How do you cope with this?

I see what you mean. I like learning new words and expressions for the sake of it. I write them down in my vocab notebooks. On top of that, it's rewarding when you come across those expressions you've learned when watching movies or reading books. 😃

Hi, and what about phrasal verbs? How many did you learn? I have seen that there are thousands of them, so I'm not sure about how many I should memorize...

[@Englishbits]

I have a couple of videos on advanced phrasal verbs. Check them out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g16up4uHast0jJI and this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX_Kmmh8jMmIr80

[@1827641]

​@@Englishbits Thank you very much! I've taken a look at them, I take note of those phrasal verbs!

[@1827641]

@@Englishbits Anyway, I intend to prepare a deck of flashcards with the most common phrasal verbs, and I'd like to know what size you think might be appropriate (very roughly, of course): maybe the 50, 100, 200... most typical ones?

[@Englishbits]

I can't answer this question. The more, the better.

I'm planning to take the exam the next year, at least in February 2025. Do you know if the exam will be the same as this year or University of Cambridge will change it? I have this question because they revised the exam in 2002 and in 2013. Hope you could help me and give me an answer. Thanks!

[@Englishbits]

Hello Fernando! I don't know if there will be changes. :)

[@charlotte96ify]

Did it yesterday, probably I’m not gonna pass it cause the listening part was terribly tough and I burnout after the writing.

[@Englishbits]

Hey! It happened to me as well. You are exhausted by the time you do the listening exam. I also had a bad feeling and everything turned out ok in the end. There is always hope!! Let me know if you past it! 🍀

[@bgb9727]

Hi! I have lots of exams of past years as well as the students book and the workbook, the thing is that I find some exercises extremely easy whereas I find others too complicated. Why does this happen? How do I know how difficult the exam would be more or less? Because I tell you that in the books some exercises are virtually "first" level and others impossible to pass.

[@Englishbits]

It's true!! I remember that the UOF part 4 was very easy in the exam. Don't worry about that! Just continue doing as many sample exams as you can and write down your mistakes in a notebook!! 📝

Hello Liezel! I remember taking some courses and private classes. 😁

It depends on your level. You can do some sample exams to see if you pass them. 🙂
