Frequently Asked Questions
How is C1 different from B2?
C1 integrates skills and tests nuance, abstraction and register far more deeply. This course trains that integration head-on.
Do I need a confirmed B2 first?
Yes — a secure B2 is the starting point. C1 builds sophistication on top of an already solid base.
Is examiner feedback included?
Yes. The expert sessions give marked writing and recorded speaking practice against the C1 criteria.
