Read, write and discuss

Keep a reading book alongside the course. Try the tasks, compare examples and revise. Browser drafts stay in the current tab; they are not sent to a tutor.

Assess with care

The unit tests and three mock sets are original Find Tutor Stage 4 Practice Assessments, with marking guidance. They are not official Cambridge papers. Open writing needs human review.
