B2 First Full Mock Exam — Timed Practice for All Four Papers

Before you start

How this mock works

This is every part of the B2 First written and audio exam, all newly written for this course — nothing here overlaps with the individual strategy lessons you've already completed. Speaking already has its own full practice module (Module 5), so it isn't repeated here.

Getting the most out of it

Do the three papers in one sitting if you can, in order, with a short break between each — that's the closest match to real exam conditions.
Each paper's timer starts only when you press its "Start" button, so you control exactly when the clock begins.
The timer is a guide, not a lock — it keeps counting even past zero, so a slow finish still lets you complete every question.
Writing isn't automatically scored (no tool can reliably grade written English) — use the self-check list instead, or submit a piece for real examiner feedback using the link at the bottom of this course's landing page.
Answer every question, even a guess — in the real exam, a blank answer can never be correct, but a guess sometimes is.

Task 1 — Essay (compulsory)

In your English class you have been talking about part-time work. Now your teacher has asked you to write an essay giving your opinion on the following question:

Should teenagers get part-time jobs while they are still in school?

Write your essay using all the notes and give reasons for your opinion.
Notes: Write about — 1. schoolwork 2. money 3. your own idea

0 words

Task 2 — Choose ONE

Article Email Review

0 words

Self-check (not scored)

Both tasks are within the 140–190 word range.

Task 1 covers all three notes, including your own idea, with a reason for your opinion.

Task 2 matches the register of the format you chose (article/email/review).

You checked spelling, tenses, and used a few linking words naturally.

Paper 2 self-check complete. Word counts: Task 1 0, Task 2 0.
