How to practice B1 reading

Read everyday articles, workplace emails and connected stories. Separate the main message from supporting details, and return to the passage to justify each answer.

  1. Choose a topic

    Start with one area you have studied. Read the instructions and work through the complete context.

  2. Try the questions

    Answer independently before checking your result. Note any choices you were unsure about.

  3. Review and apply

    Review mistakes and available explanations. Use the language in a fresh example, then revisit the topic later.

Try it in your own English

Summarise an email’s purpose and list the actions the reader must take.

Try B1 when you can follow everyday A2 material and connect simple ideas. Use the A2 activities to revise any gaps.

Explore all B1 English skills or estimate your English level if you are unsure where to start.

Frequently asked questions

Are these B1 reading tests official CEFR exams?

No. These focused exercises support intermediate learning. A result reflects this practice set, not your ability in every English skill, and does not award an official CEFR qualification.

How many questions are in each test?

The question count is shown on each card. Sets vary by topic, so choose one that fits the time you have and read its instructions before starting.

What should I do after checking my result?

Review uncertain answers as well as mistakes. Check the relevant guide and any explanation provided, then try the study task on this page. A new example checks understanding better than memorising the previous answers.

Can I return to a test and practice again?

Yes. Return to the test page to begin another attempt. Try again after reviewing the topic, and combine these exercises with reading, listening and your own use of English rather than judging progress from one score.
