C1 Key Word Transformation: 200 exam-styled practice exercises

This edition of practice tests has been written to closely replicate the Cambridge exam experience, although it is also suitable for any English-language student working at CEFR C1 level.

This resource contains 200 exam-styled, single-sentence assessments, each carrying a lexical/lexico-grammatical focus, testing lexis, grammar and vocabulary. Each assessment comprises a sentence, followed by a 'key' word and an alternative sentence conveying the same meaning as the first but with a gap in the middle. Use the key word provided to complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence. You cannot change the keyword provided. Each correct answer is broken down into two marks. Next to each sentence transformation answer is a guide indicating the focus of the two parts of the answer: either G (grammatical) or L (lexical). This device gives a rough indication to help you with your revision for the exam.
