Which list correctly names the four papers that compose the FCE exam?

• A. Reading and Use of English, Writing, Listening, and Speaking.
• B. Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Vocabulary
• C. Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Grammar
• D. Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking and Grammar

Answer: (A)

The question checks your knowledge of the FCE exam’s four papers and their official names. The correct set lists the papers as Reading and Use of English, Writing, Listening, and Speaking. This matches the real structure: one combined paper called Reading and Use of English, plus separate Writing, Listening, and Speaking papers. Reading and Use of English covers reading tasks plus grammar and vocabulary using those texts; Use of English is the part that tests grammar and vocabulary in context within that same paper.

Why the other options aren’t right: one version uses Vocabulary instead of Use of English, but there isn’t a standalone Vocabulary paper in the FCE; vocabulary work is embedded within the Reading and Use of English and Use of English tasks. Another version uses Grammar instead of Use of English, which doesn’t reflect the official paper name. The last option adds Grammar as a fifth paper, implying five papers, but the exam has only four.
