In their own words
Cambridge Play
Cambridge Play is a study platform for Cambridge English exam preparation, with practice for B1 Preliminary, B2 First, C1 Advanced and C2 Proficiency. Learners work on Use of English, Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking. Writing activities return a score and feedback on strengths, areas to improve, grammar and language, plus suggestions for strengthening an answer. For speaking, learners record responses to exam prompts and receive a score. Game elements include hearts, daily streaks, streak shields, experience points, gifts, badges and challenge leaderboards. Free play starts with five hearts, replenished one every 90 minutes; free Writing and Speaking practice covers the first five stages of each level. The Free plan is free. PRO costs $9.99 a month or $49.99 a year, adding unlimited hearts, access to all Writing and Speaking stages, a weekly streak shield, unlimited gifts, higher AI limits and premium feedback. Cambridge Play is intended for learners aged 16 and over and identifies itself as independent of Cambridge University Press and Assessment.
