C1 ADVANCED: USE OF ENGLISH TEST PARTS

C1 Reading Part 1 - Multiple Choice

Part 1 consists of a short text with eight gaps in it (plus one gap as an example). Each gap represents a word or phrase that is missing. The text is then followed by eight groups of four words or phrases (A, B, C or D), each of which corresponds to a gap. Candidates must select which of the four words or sentences in the set correctly fills the gap.

Use of English Part 2 - Open Cloze

Part 2 consists of a short text with eight gaps in it (plus one gap as an example). To fill each gap, candidates must draw on their knowledge of content structure and comprehension. Since there are no words to choose from, unlike in Part 1, candidates must think of a term that will correctly fill the gap.

Use of English Part 3 - Word Formation

Part 3 is a short text with eight gaps (plus one gap as an example). A stem word in capital letters appears at the end of some of the lines, separated from the text on the right. To fill each gap, candidates must build an appropriate word from the given stem words.

Use of English Part 4 - Key Word Transformation

Part 4 is made up of six questions (plus an example). Each question has a complete lead-in sentence, a key word, and a gapped sentence. Candidates must fill in the blank in the second sentence so that it means the same as the lead-in sentence. The gap must be completed using between three and six words, including the key word given, which cannot be changed in any way.
