To clarify, these books are still valid. I will delete the video when they are no longer valid due to changes in the exam format.
(The only significant change to the exam at the time of writing this message is that the Set Text option in the Writing paper has been removed)

Good video Ben, I've been using all of these books for my studies. But I found that the last book, the one related to grammar is a little bit outdated since it references the previous format of the exam

Hi, Ben. Are the following books useful to keep practicing on the C2 CPE level if you have already acquired it? Grammar & Vocabulary Booster C2, Upstream C2, Destination C1/C2, Practical English Use, Vocabulary in Use Advanced, A Good Turn of Phrase Advanced, My GrammarLab Advanced C1/C2, Common Mistakes at Proficency, Profiency Masterclass 2nd edition, Proficiency Expert 2013, Revised Mastermind Use of English, and a British history book called Britan since 1688.

'i've been helping people pass the exam for over than 15 years, but I had never taken the exam myself' HAHAHAHA funny and ironic

[radiba]

But "Grammar and Vocabulary for Cambridge Advanced and Proficiency, with Key" only has a very old edition. There hasn't been a new edition after 2015. Does anyone encounter a newer edition somewhere?

Hello, Ben! I am interested in CPE. I am a Korean. My name is Jae Seo. I live in Seoul. There is only one exam centre in Korea. The person in charge told me that the centre couldn't offer CPE but CAE in Seoul.

They weren't sure whether CPE could be open in Korea or not and I was the only one who inquired of them about CPE this year.

I've got a question. If I take CAE and get score over 200, is it recognised as C2 level(CPE), even if I don't take CPE directly?

Please answer me if you are available. Thank you so much for your videos. They help me a lot.

I am to study myself without any teachers' help because I couldn't find any proper preparation courses in Korea.

However, if it is possible to take your class online, I would be pleased. Thank you for sharing your website, then I could have a look.

Why I want to take CPE is because I have been working as an English tour guide in Korea.

I think it is a good chance for me to improve my English through CPE.

Plus, if I achieve it, I don't have to take any other English exams such as IELTS, TOFEL, TOEIC etc to prove myself every 2 years.

I appreciate your videos again. Have a great day.

Thank you in advance.
