First Certificate in English (FCE) 2 Practice Test

Writing tasks on this paper focus on producing a short piece of writing, such as a letter or email, aimed at a specific reader. This tests your ability to communicate a clear message, choose the right tone for the audience (formal or informal), and present ideas in a logical, reader-friendly way with a proper opening, development, and closing. You’ll also need to manage the length and use appropriate linking to make the text coherent. The other activities—reading a text and answering questions, listening to a conversation, or transforming grammar—are tasks from other parts of the exam and involve different skills rather than producing a written piece.
