Cambridge B1 Exam Simulator

The Cambridge B1 Exam Simulator drops you straight into the real PET environment: same timing, same layout, same pressure. You get unlimited full-length Reading, Use of English and Listening papers, so exam day stops feeling like a mystery and starts feeling like routine.

For anyone who wants the B1 Preliminary format, this is a strong place to start.

What the Cambridge B1 Exam Simulator does

This simulator, built by TCK Systems LLC, is a B1 Preliminary (PET) tool, which means everything is tuned to the Preliminary English Test rather than a vague "intermediate" bucket. The first thing that stands out is how closely the interface mirrors the official Cambridge Assessment English format. That familiarity matters more than people think, because half the battle at B1 is not panicking when the clock starts.

The full-length simulations are the heart of it

You get unlimited Reading, Use of English and Listening papers, and they run at real exam length and real exam timing, with no attempt limits. They are ideal for building stamina, the quiet skill nobody talks about. By the fifth or sixth full paper, sitting still and focused for the whole thing feels normal, which is exactly what you want walking into the actual PET.

Focus Zone for your weak spots

When there is no time for a whole paper, the Focus Zone lets you isolate a single part, say Reading Part 1 or Listening Part 3, and drill just that. It is ideal for targeted repair work. If a task type keeps costing marks, you can hammer that part until the pattern clicks, instead of spending an hour on a full mock to practise ten minutes of weakness.

Reels practice for the in-between moments

An infinite-scroll Reels feed of mini-exercises covers grammar, vocabulary and verb conjugations. It is genuinely useful for keeping English ticking over in a bus queue or a coffee break, and it keeps phrasal verbs and everyday vocabulary fresh without the weight of a full test.

Feedback that explains things

Every question comes with Extended Feedback. Instead of a bare "wrong," you get a proper explanation of why the correct answer is correct, which is the difference between memorising an answer and understanding the grammar behind it. The content was built by data engineers and checked by real English teachers, and that combination shows in how the explanations are worded.

• Unlimited PET simulations: full-length Reading, Use of English and Listening papers with no practice caps, matching official B1 Preliminary timing.
• The Focus Zone: isolate individual exam parts to strengthen specific weak points fast.
• Extended Feedback: clear, detailed explanations on every answer so you learn the reasoning, not just the result.
• Reels practice: an endless feed of grammar, vocabulary and verb-conjugation micro-tasks for daily habit-building.
• Progress tracking: visual analytics that show your scores climbing, which helps motivation when momentum dips.
• Web sync: your account carries over to the web platform at cambridgexam.com, so you can switch between phone and laptop without losing your place.

Who it is for

For learners a few weeks out from the B1 exam who want to stop guessing what the paper feels like, this is the tool. It is equally good for learners just stepping up from A2 who want a structured on-ramp into Preliminary English Test practice. Between the realistic simulations, the precise Focus Zone drilling and feedback that treats you as someone who wants to improve, it is a strong default for PET candidates. It is available on iOS and Android, with packages for schools for teachers running a class.
