British English usage: This C2 assessment tests integrated grammatical control, precision, reformulation and register choice rather than introducing a fictional set of ‘C2-only’ structures.

Cambridge Grammar reference: The test reflects Cambridge C2 expectations of wide grammatical range and consistent, appropriate control of complex forms, while CEFR C2 emphasises flexibility, precision and control under cognitive load.

Level note: These structures are not claimed to be exclusive to C2. At C2, the focus is flexible, precise and context-appropriate control of complex language.
