Free Cambridge Reading practice for B2 First (FCE), C1 Advanced (CAE) and C2 Proficiency (CPE) trains the skills the paper actually rewards: detailed meaning, text cohesion, rapid scanning, and calm navigation under time pressure. Interactive texts come with answers and review so each attempt produces a clear next step.
Choose the exam level you will sit first. B2 First builds confidence with the core multiple-choice, gapped-text and multiple-matching formats. C1 Advanced consolidates long-form comprehension, while C2 Proficiency pushes denser argument, tighter paraphrase control, and faster elimination of distractors.
After every practice set, log why wrong options looked plausible. Most Reading marks are lost to partial reading of the stem, not to “unknown words.” Retest the same part type until accuracy stops swinging wildly between sessions.
Pair reading work with C1 Vocabulary or C2 Vocabulary, and use the C2 Reading guide when you need strategy before more volume.
