What does C1 mean?

C1 learners express ideas fluently without obviously searching for words. They use language flexibly for social, academic and professional purposes and produce clear, well-structured text on complex subjects.

What does the C1 English test cover?

C1 distractors are usually grammatical but slightly wrong in meaning or register. Choose the option that is most precise, not merely possible.
