How to use these materials
1
Study the guides
Start with the Writing Examples files to understand the structure, language, and criteria for each task type before practising.
2
Practice under time
Do each exercise without looking at the answers. Reading: 75 min · Writing: 80 min · Speaking: simulate with a partner.
3
Check & explain
Use the built-in answer keys with explanations. Don’t just check right/wrong — read why each answer is correct.
4
Review & repeat
Note down new vocabulary and structures. For Writing, rewrite after feedback — the second version is where real progress happens.
