B2 Speaking

Preparation for the Cambridge B2 First

There are four parts to the B2 First Speaking exam.

Write-in student book

This write-in student book focuses on each exam part individually, explaining its characteristics and providing guidance on how to respond to the questions.

In preparation for taking on several exam-styled questions, each unit contains a series of practice exercises with detailed answer keys that clarify how and why answers are correct.

Eight videos of simulated B2 Speaking examinations reinforce learning throughout the resource. 

Exam-styled texts with answer keys

For each exam part, there are two sets of exam-styled questions and answer keys that explain why the correct answers are correct as well as pointing out why candidates may have provided weak responses.

Additional practice tests

The four exam-styled practice tests included in this resource, complete with model answers, will allow the reader to consolidate their approach to the different types of Speaking task that will be assessed.
