SkillsOptional

learning-reach-c1

Optional. C1 is near-native. Most people plateau at B2 and maintain there — C1 requires years of daily immersive use and deliberate study of nuance.

SkillsOptional

learning-pass-formal-language-exam

Optional. The official exam is the internationally recognised proof of level. Take it when you genuinely believe you are B2 — not as a test of whether you are.
