Behind Cambridge Prep

How a student tired of paywalls, blurred PDFs, and outdated answer keys decided to build a free, interactive preparation platform.

Our Story

Preparing for English exams is an expensive, frustrating process. Anyone who has tried to study for B2 First or C1 Advanced independently knows how it works. You spend hours searching for sample papers. You download pixelated documents from ten years ago. You waste entire afternoons matching your answers with a messy key at the end of a document.

If you miss a transformation question in Use of English, you are left in the dark. Nobody explains your mistake. You only know you failed, and that the physical book cost you forty euros.

Cambridge Prep was born from that exact struggle.

A few years ago, I was in that exact position. I needed to certify my English level to move forward. I had no budget for expensive academies, and the free resources online were terrible, buggy, or hidden behind paywalls. Most websites promised free practice but forced you to register just to view your final score.

I decided the preparation process did not have to be so hostile. I used my technical skills to build a simulator that worked exactly how I needed it to work when I was a student. Clean, direct, and genuinely free.

This platform does not belong to an academy or a large publishing corporation. I run and code it in my spare time. The goal is to provide honest, interactive, and accessible training for candidates worldwide.
