- Is Better English free?
- Yes. Every exercise, grammar lesson, exam tip and vocabulary card is free to use. Signing in is optional and only adds progress tracking, streaks and XP.
- Which exams does it cover?
- All four main Cambridge English qualifications: B1 Preliminary (PET), B2 First (FCE), C1 Advanced (CAE) and C2 Proficiency (CPE).
- How many exercises are there?
- 3,319 at the moment, spread across Use of English, Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking, plus 69 lessons and 2,179 vocabulary cards.
- How is my writing marked?
- Writing tasks are assessed by AI against the four official Cambridge subscales — Content, Communicative Achievement, Organisation and Language — with line-by-line corrections. It is guidance, not an official score.
- Do I need a microphone for Speaking?
- No. You can practise out loud with the on-screen timer. If you do allow microphone access, recordings stay in your browser and are never uploaded.
- How does the level test work?
- It samples real exam questions from B1 up to C2 and places you at the highest level where you answer at least 60% correctly. It takes about five minutes.
- Is this affiliated with Cambridge?
- No. Better English is an independent preparation platform and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Cambridge Assessment English.
