Cambridge Proficiency Writing
Floriana Grundy
The #1 thing you can do to prepare for the writing section of the C2 Proficiency writing section is to take practice tests. But what good are these tests if you don't know what your scores are?
You can take an C2 Proficiency preparation course, or hire a private tutor, but these options aren't possible for everyone. You might have an English-speaking friend who can check your writing, but they might not have the right experience with grading academic essays.
That's why I created this C2 Proficiency writing checker tool built with AI so that you can write as many practice essays as you want and still get quality scores and feedback to help you track your progress.
This AI C2 Proficiency grader tool only needs you to submit the essay topic you're writing about and the content of your essay. Then, it analyzes your writing using the same criteria as the official graders of the C2 Proficiency exam.
The responses won't be exactly like the responses for the actual C2 Proficiency exam every single time, but they will be more than close enough to help you improve your C2 Proficiency essays to pass your exam the first time you take it.
If you incorrectly used some vocabulary, it will point that out to you, and tell you the correct way to write it on your actual C2 Proficiency test. It will judge how well your sample essays match with the expected task response, as it has been trained on previous mock tests and sample essays from other C2 Proficiency students.
Normally getting personalized feedback for this amount of C2 Proficiency essays would cost you a lot of money. But with this C2 Proficiency writing grader tool, you can get personalized feedback on your C2 Proficiency essay every single time you write one, for only $5 a month.
While it may not be a 100% perfect replacement for an actual British Council examiner sitting at your kitchen table helping grade your essays every night, it's certainly a great tool to help you score higher on your C2 Proficiency essay.
The process of getting high scores on your C2 Proficiency writing section takes a lot of time and practice on your part. By offering you this AI C2 Proficiency writing checker tool, I want to make sure that you get as many opportunities to get help with that hard work as you can.
You can try the C2 Proficiency essay grader tool for FREE twice before you need to purchase the paid version of the tool, just so you can make sure it works for you, and to make sure you're confident about using it on your writing task practice before paying any money.
The biggest difficulty for C2 Proficiency students is usually that the essay is not all about your English skills, it's about your academic writing skills. You need to be able to write effectively, with clear and organized arguments that the examiners can easily understand.
Hitting the word count, using the right vocabulary, appropriate cohesive devices, and having proper spelling, are just a few of the details you need to keep track of as you prepare for your C2 Proficiency writing exam.
Not only will you get personalized feedback, but you can save your essay submissions and see how your scores have changed over time. You can also look back to see the progress you've made or remind yourself of the feedback from the tool.
Take advantage of the technology available and give this tool a shot to prepare for your C2 Proficiency essay. You'll be happy you did, and your future self will thank you later after you've passed your C2 Proficiency exam on your first try.
The C2 Proficiency Exam, also known as Cambridge English Proficiency (CPE), stands as the highest-level qualification provided by Cambridge Assessment English. This exam tests English proficiency at a level beyond any other exam, designed to assess candidates capable of operating at a proficient level comparable to that of an educated native speaker. Here is why the C2 Proficiency is considered the zenith of English language exams:
The C2 Proficiency is not merely a test of language skills but a demonstration of linguistic finesse and intellectual depth. Those who achieve this certification showcase not only fluency but also a profound and comprehensive grasp of the English language.
