How this part works
Ejercicios interactivos de Use of English parte 1 del B2 First: multiple-choice cloze, con respuestas.
FCE Use of English Part 1 is a multiple-choice cloze: a short text with eight gaps. For each gap you choose A, B, C, or D. Cambridge is testing collocations, phrasal verbs, linking words, and small grammar contrasts — not whether you can guess a synonym from a word list.
Each item is worth one mark. A typical candidate who “knows the vocabulary” still drops marks on dependent prepositions (responsible for, interested in) and fixed phrases. These practice tests put those traps in exam layout so you see the options the same way you will on paper.
Do Test 1 without a dictionary. Mark every guess. Then read the answers and write the collocation, not just the letter. Test 2 should feel narrower: you are no longer picking “the nicest word”, you are picking the only word that fits the pattern. Ejercicios Use of English parte 1 work best in short daily sets, not in one long cram.
