Writing workflow
Choose the level, then train the task—not just the language
What changes between C1 and C2?
C1 Advanced rewards clear development, controlled complex language, consistent register, and reliable genre organisation. C2 Proficiency expects those foundations with finer precision, flexibility, information control, and rhetorical effect. Start from the exam you are preparing for so the prompt, word limit, and feedback criteria match your target.
Open the C1 Writing Lab for Advanced tasks or the C2 Writing Lab for Proficiency practice. AI-assisted feedback is educational guidance, not an official Cambridge grade.
A revision loop that produces evidence
- Analyse audience, purpose, required content, and genre before drafting.
- Write under defined conditions and preserve the first version.
- Classify feedback under content, communicative achievement, organisation, and language.
- Rewrite the weakest passage and transfer the correction to a new prompt.
For deeper workflows, use the Write & Improve guide and the C2 Writing Part 2 genre guide.
