PEIC Level 3 (B2) study plan

Diagnose current level by completing one untimed listening task and one reading task, then log error types in a tracking sheet

Identify the six B2 listening text types (announcement, interview, lecture extract, phone message, discussion, news item) and note the typical question stems for each

Build a personal vocabulary log of 40 high-frequency B2 academic and workplace words drawn from reading passages, recording word class and one original example sentence each

Practise predicting content from question stems and answer options before listening, completing 10 short prediction drills

Listen to eight short B2 recordings (2-3 minutes) and take structured notes using a two-column format: main idea and supporting detail

Distinguish stated fact from speaker opinion in six recordings by underlining opinion markers such as 'I'd argue', 'apparently', and 'to be fair'

Transcribe two 60-second extracts verbatim and compare against the audio to identify words missed through connected speech

Answer 20 multiple-choice listening items under timed conditions and review every wrong answer against the transcript

Skim four B2 articles (600-800 words) in under four minutes each and write a one-sentence summary of the main argument

Scan for specific data in six texts by locating numbers, names, and dates within 60 seconds per task

Infer writer attitude from adjective and modal choices in five opinion pieces, citing the exact phrase that supports each inference

Complete 25 timed reading comprehension items and classify each error as vocabulary, inference, detail, or time-pressure

Sustain a 20-minute listening session with a single play-through and no pausing, then answer five comprehension questions

Match five paragraph headings to paragraphs in two texts, justifying each choice in one written sentence

Review the week 1-3 error logs and rewrite the five most frequent mistakes as personal rules

Complete a combined listening and reading mock under exam timing and record raw scores

Record three two-minute monologues on familiar topics and self-assess for fluency, linking words, and hesitation markers

Build and rehearse a reusable framework for the long turn: opening, two developed points, example, closing

Practise eight follow-up question exchanges with a partner or recording, answering in full sentences without repeating the question verbatim

Drill ten pronunciation points that affect intelligibility, including word stress in two-syllable nouns and verbs and final consonant clusters

Deliver a four-minute interactive discussion with a partner on a B2 topic, using at least six turn-taking and opinion-softening phrases

Write two formal emails (120-150 words) that state purpose, give reasons, and request action using appropriate register

Write one opinion essay (180-220 words) with a clear thesis, two body paragraphs, and a conclusion that does not introduce new ideas

Edit three pieces of own writing specifically for cohesion, replacing repeated simple linkers with varied connectors

Write two task-based texts under a 25-minute limit each and check them against a personal checklist covering task achievement, organisation, grammar range, and vocabulary range

Correct ten common B2 error types in own work, including article use, present perfect versus past simple, and conditional forms

Paraphrase five source sentences without changing meaning, to build flexibility for summary tasks

Produce one summary of a 300-word text in 80-100 words that captures the main points without copying phrasing

Complete a full four-domain mock under exam conditions and record scores and timings for each section

Review every mock error and assign it to a skill category, then write three specific actions for the final week of consolidation

Re-record one speaking task from week 5 and compare it side by side with the original to evidence improvement

Finalise a one-page exam-day routine covering time allocation per section, checking procedures, and stress management
