Introduction: Why This Book is a Goldmine for B2 Learners
If you are preparing for the B2 First (FCE) exam—formerly known as Cambridge English: First—you have likely encountered a sea of preparation books. Among the most respected, yet sometimes frustrating to find, are the FCE Practice Tests authored by Karen Dyer and Dave Harwood.
Published by Express Publishing, this book (often part of the Practice Test Books series) is renowned for one specific reason: its uncanny accuracy to the real exam. Unlike some practice materials that are either too easy or filled with obscure vocabulary, Dyer and Harwood’s tests mirror the actual Cambridge English: B2 First exam in difficulty, structure, and timing.
However, a common complaint among students and teachers alike is: “Where is the audio for the Listening section?”
You have come to the right place. Below is a complete breakdown of the book, its components, and—most importantly—how to locate and access the official audio files legally and quickly.
Step 2: Go to the Official Express Publishing Audio Portal

Method C: Third-Party Repositories (For older editions)
If you bought a second-hand book without a code or CD, you may need to look for third-party hosting. Use extreme caution when downloading from these sites to avoid malware.
