Regular tests offer students a further opportunity to check and consolidate what they have learnt. * Highlights common mistakes that learners really make * Based on analysis of thousands of exam scripts * Short, snappy explanations focus on key problem areas * Includes exam-style exercises Review: Great book! - I have had this book and another one: a book with previous exams commented - there are a lot of them around desertcart. I read this one quite fast, it is a short but precious book. it helped me a lot during my exam. The exam itself is not so tough. It took me 2 weeks studying for it, preparing for the long 8-hours of exams [Be aware that the exam is changing its shape this year- 2013], but in the end i managed to pass on my first try. I am not sure if maybe i got lucky, but if you are confident with your skills, if you are capable of writing (i mean writing essays like in college) and if you can write/read a lot and fast - you have god chances with this exam. In the worst case scenario: this is exam is up every year. If you failed once, you can try the next year. Good luck! Review: Talk about efficiency - I couldn't believe my eyes yesterday when I checked my mail box and saw the book. I live in Brazil and it took, believe it or not, just 8 days!! The best experience ever!

Not only for the Proficiency
It's a good collection of grammar rules and exercises. Surely an interesting little booklet for everybody who wants to study English!

BEST BOOK ABOUT ENGLISH MISTAKES FOR ADVANCED STUDENTS
As someone certified in thirteen different languages, I can recommend this book as the best of its class in the market today. To begin with, it is brief, something I consider a plus, unlike other readers who only recommend thick books. Secondly, the editorial house is one of the best nowadays on English language books. Thirdly, it can be completed by the best grammar on English available, i.e. Quirk's 'Comprehensive Grammar of English'. However, I love 'mistakes' books as they give you a lot of information in only a few pages.

Very helpful when preparing for CPE.
This book was a great help to me though explanations as sometimes a bit on the short side (look at a dictionary...) Obviously several subject will bear no problem but it still is a good thing to practise them once more. Took me about 30-45 min per chapter, and there are 9 of them.
