About this paper

Ejercicios interactivos de Reading and Use of English del B2 First (FCE), con respuestas. Parts 1–7.

Cambridge B2 First (FCE) combines Reading and Use of English in a single paper: seven parts, one mark scheme, and the highest weighting of any paper in the exam. This bank is built for that paper — not generic grammar drills. You get free interactive practice tests with instant answers for Use of English Parts 1–4 and Reading Parts 5–7.

Searchers looking for FCE reading, readings FCE, or reading B2 Cambridge usually need the whole paper, not a random article. Start here, then open the part you are weakest in. Each hub explains the task, scoring, and how the two unlocked tests work. More practice lives in the PassFirst dashboard after you register.

The tests follow official FCE timing logic: cloze and transformation items in Use of English, then longer texts in Reading. Use Part 4 if you lose marks on key word transformations; use Parts 5–7 if timing on FCE reading practice is the problem. Two free tests per part are unlocked without an account.

FAQ

What is FCE Reading and Use of English?
It is one Cambridge B2 First paper with seven parts. Parts 1–4 are Use of English (cloze, word formation, key word transformation). Parts 5–7 are Reading (multiple choice, gapped text, multiple matching). Together they count for more of the exam than Writing, Listening, or Speaking alone.
Are these practice tests free?
Yes. Test 1 and Test 2 are unlocked for every part. You can check answers on the page without creating an account. Extra tests sit behind free registration in the PassFirst dashboard.
Is this the same as official Cambridge past papers?
No. PassFirst is not Cambridge Assessment English. The tasks match B2 First format and difficulty so you can train the same skills you need on exam day.
Where should I start if I only have 20 minutes?
Open Use of English Part 4 if grammar transformations are weak, or Reading Part 5 if you need FCE reading practice with a full text. Then come back for the rest of the paper.
