How many words should a B2 First (FCE) essay be?

A B2 First (FCE) essay should be 140-190 words. Writing too few words may result in missing content points, while exceeding the limit (over 190 words) can lower your score. All Part 1 and Part 2 writing tasks in the FCE exam have the same word count requirement.

What's the structure of a formal email for Cambridge exams?

A formal email for Cambridge exams should include: 1) A formal salutation (Dear Mr/Ms/Dr Smith), 2) An opening paragraph stating your purpose clearly, 3) Main content paragraphs with relevant information, 4) A closing paragraph with action points or a polite conclusion, and 5) A formal sign-off (Yours sincerely/faithfully). For B2 First, the word count is 140-190 words; for C1 Advanced, 220-260 words.

What's the difference between B2 First and C1 Advanced writing tasks?

C1 Advanced (CAE) writing requires more complex language, longer texts (220-260 words vs. 140-190 for B2), and higher-level vocabulary. CAE expects more sophisticated arguments, a wider range of cohesive devices, and greater accuracy. Both exams test similar text types (essays, emails, reports, reviews, articles), but C1 Advanced has stricter marking criteria and may include proposal writing.
