Some sites with texts for rapid reading comprehension

You can often get old Cambridge FCE, CAE (now called C1 Advanced), C2 Proficiency, (previously known as Cambridge English Proficiency) and IELTS Practice Test Books (you need the version with answers) from libraries, bookshops, your relatives, colleagues or friends or on Amazon. (Don't get Cambridge IELTS Academic 11 or General 11, Cambridge CAE 5 or Cambridge FCE 5 or 6 as I have those). Then do all the Reading sections, giving yourself the same number of minutes to do each one as there are questions. Plus anything else you can find by doing a search on Google for:

'free B2 and C1 texts for multiple choice reading comprehension'

or something similar.

I found this site: https://www.usingenglish.com/comprehension/advanced.html

and chose this text (se limk) but there are 7 texts in all:

also

https://www.test-guide.com/free-toefl-practice-tests.html check all the links

https://www.test-guide.com/courses/gre/lessons/gre-practice-exam-1/quizzes/gre-verbal-reasoning-practice-test-1

 

B2 level, some general exercises just to get started:

https://www.examenglish.com/FCE/fce_reading.html  and then the links

https://www.examenglish.com/FCE/fce_reading_and_use_of_english_test2.htm

https://www.examenglish.com/FCE/fce_reading3.htm

https://www.examenglish.com/FCE/fce_reading_part1_test2.htm

https://www.examenglish.com/FCE/fce_reading_part3_test2.htm

now here are some short texts:

https://www.esl-lounge.com/student/first-certificate-reading-multiple-choice.php

And here are some longer ones, but don't give yourself too much time when you do these reading comprehension texts. For example, as we said, when there are 6 questions, you have 6 minutes. If there are 4 questions, this means 4 minutes. Do each reading comprehension, first without a dictionary. Then check the words you don't know and see if you want to change your answers. Then check the answers.
