Listening

Listening is a bit of a problem as I haven't been able to find any FCE specific listening practice exercises on the Internet. However, you can download the practice exam to see what the questions are like from the Cambridge University site. I would highly recommend you visit the BBC's audio and visual page and listen to or watch various ABC programs using the RealPlayer. The exam is purely British English, so it's best to listen to this classic British radio station.

Finally, here are some links to use to download an entire practice examination.

• Flo Joe's Practice Tests
• Ready for First Certificate (a FCE preparation book published by MacMillan) provides free practice tests of Papers 1, 2 and three emailed to you three times a year.

I hope these resource can help you get an excellent start towards the FCE. For information about other types of Cambridge University English Exams, just visit the site .
