    I have helped thousands of people pass their B2 First and C1 Advanced exams at no cost, and I would LOVE to keep it that way. Of course, I still have to maintain a full time job while running this channel, and BELIEVE ME, I spend the majority of my free time writing, recording, editing and publishing videos. I love doing this, but I would love it even more if I could do it for a living!
    If every student that PASSED their exams bought one beer for Bruce I’d be able to do this full time. That would be MARVELLOUS!
    So, if you’ve PASSED your B2 First exam, and feel that SMASH English really helped, please consider donating here:

    This is not an obligation. One of the fantastic things about SMASH English is that it is free for everyone that needs it! This will not change. However, if you do feel you can say thanks with a little bit of money then that’s fantastic.
    Thank you all!

    That scores over there are really low😢. Luckily, I’ve been preparing for my exam with course for B2 level and watching videos of Toby! My first day of the exam is on friday and I’m feeling confident. I wanted to say thank you Toby! I appreciate how you try to help us in everything.

    Hello Toby!
    Amazing video!!!
    Also in the time management people think that in 5 minutes they will put all the answers in the answersheet but in my case I needed more because I had to check loads of times in case of mistakes transfering the answers or spelling mistakes...
    Take care!

    Hey Toby, can you do a video of CAE reading part of the exam (part 7 I think), the one where we get 4 texts (people) and have to match who agrees, has the same/opposite opinion/ view with somebody else. To me its so confusing like how am i supposed to know what they think😂

    Hello! Thanks very much for your helpful videos. I did the B2 exam and the reading and UOE were C1 level... but my writing was B2 ( 164 ) I saw your videos about the writing and understood everything but it seems like I can't do it😅 Any suggestions? Thank you again

    Hey Tobi,
    I wanted to know if there is a difference whether i apply for B2 and get C1 or or apply for C1 and get C1 ? There are some universities that require minimum C1 that i am willing to apply for.

    • @SMASHEnglish
      @SMASHEnglish  2 месяца назад +2

      This is a very good question, Alina. It really depends on the requirements of the institution, so I would advise asking them if they would accept a B2 First exam result with a score of 180 or higher. I would, personally, advise against taking a B2 First exam with the aim of obtaining a C1 certification, however. Another alternative that you may want to consider is the IELTS exam. I have found that students generally have an easier time obtaining a 6.5/7 in IELTS for university admissions than a C1 Advanced. Check to see if the university accepts IELTS (they usually do), and which scores they require. Then take a look at IELTS papers and see how you do.

      @SMASHEnglish  2 месяца назад +1

      It can happen... Ultimately, if you are scoring like this on practice tests you will know about it, and decide not to take the exam.
