Get Ahead in FCE

Get Ahead in FCE is essential preparation material for the revised Cambridge FCE examination. The course provides in-depth coverage of the four essential exam skills - reading, writing, listening and speaking - as well as grammar and vocabulary exercises to help students develop the required level of English.

Each thematically based unit contains:

• a lead-in section with speaking activities
• the three parts of Paper 1: Reading
• additional classroom activities for each reading text
• a variety of vocabulary exercises, including practice on easily confused words
• FCE-specific speaking activities to help students increase their fluency and accuracy
• FCE-specific writing tasks with additional exercises and writing tips
• FCE-specific listening, plus listening support
• a mini Use of English test at the end of each unit
