Upper-intermediate English (B2): free exam practice
B2 is the level most English exams and employers ask for: natural, contemporary English with collocations, phrasal verbs, dependent prepositions and a full range of tenses and linkers. Every exercise here is exam-style, marked instantly, with an explanation that names the rule.
B2 practice by section
What B2 means
At B2 you can read articles and follow discussions on unfamiliar and even abstract subjects, keep up a conversation with fluent speakers comfortably, and write a clear argument that weighs up both sides. Distractors in these exercises are plausible, so the whole sentence has to be judged, not just the gap.
What to work on at B2
- Collocation decides most B2 items: learn which verbs, nouns and prepositions go together.
- In key word transformations, count the words (two to five) and keep the key word unchanged.
- For word formation, decide the part of speech from the sentence, then build the form.
- Read the explanation of every wrong answer — B2 mistakes are usually a pattern, not a slip.
Practise it the smart way
Each exercise below is marked instantly and every answer carries a short explanation, so a wrong attempt becomes a mini-lesson. Mix the question types: each one trains a different skill at this level.

Which question types are here?
The usual exam papers — multiple-choice cloze, open cloze, word formation, key word transformations, reading and listening — and practice in phrasal verbs, idioms and collocations, verb tenses, gerunds and infinitives, verbs and prepositions and mixed grammar.
How do I move to C1?
When B2 exercises feel comfortable and your errors are rare, C1 adds precision, register and inference.
