Common mistakes at CAE

...and how to avoid them. This is the title of a recently-published little book which is extremely useful for any student studying for the Cambridge Advanced Exam. Author is Debra Powell and it's published by CUP (Cambridge University Press) . The book is divided into 30 units, with a short test after every 3 units to check your progress. All the material is based on the Cambridge Learner Corpus, a collection of more than 45,000 exam papers from Cambridge ESOL, so it's all authentic stuff! Highly recommended. CUP website is www.cambridge.org and the Learner Corpus is here: www.cambridge.org/corpus
