Choose a test below and start practising your B2 reading skills.
Try to read the whole text first to understand the general meaning. Then read the questions carefully and go back to the text to find the information you need.
Some words may be unfamiliar, but don't stop every time you see a new word. Try to understand its meaning from the rest of the sentence or paragraph.
