C1 Key Word Transformations: The most important part of the exam

The vocabulary and grammar that can be used for each section of the exam at level C1 is essentially limitless. For Key Word Transformations, it is exactly the same. It is difficult to predict exactly what you will see on the test, no matter how well you study.

Nonetheless, Cambridge likes to emphasise certain grammatical constructions and common vocabulary. You’ll see them all with Breakout English’s 230 Key Word Transformations. Ten transformations per unit in 23 units for every language focus. You might still be surprised by the exam, but at least you’ll be prepared!

There is not much time available for you to complete the Reading and Use of English. You have 90 minutes to finish all eight tasks and Key Word Transformations might take up a significant amount of your time if you’re not careful.

You will be able to practise transformations more than ever with 230 Key Word Transformations. Learn how to do the assignment more quickly and effectively in the first unit, and then apply that method to the remaining units in the book. The quicker you complete the Key Word Transformations, the more time you have left for the remaining Use of English and Reading tasks.

This is difficult! Without a question, the most challenging section of the test is Key Word Transformations. In addition, it has a higher point value than any other section. However, you don’t have to pull your hair out as long as you prepare properly.

You won’t be surprised as much after finishing 230 Key Word Transformations because it’s a comprehensive book on Use of English Part 4. Key Word Transformations will become more straightforward after you are able to determine the language required for each situation.
