About this episode

Ben Gill from To The Point English joins us today for a great, detailed overview of the Cambridge English exams.

Ben covers all sorts of topics and questions related to these exams on his YouTube channel (particularly B2, C1, and C2 levels). 

The exams are huge and we could talk about them for days, so in today's episode,
I try to ask Ben a couple of common questions for each paper of the exam.

We talk about tips for the listening exam, what accents to prepare for in the speaking exam, how much advanced grammar to use in your writing, and strategies for making the reading sections easier.
