I wonder if it’s people gaming the system to get the certs or just that you have high expectations.
B2 should mean one is confident in most conversational situations. I’m at this level and have no issues conversing at all but make a lot of small mistakes.
With that being said, being in a meeting with a group of natives from the same region is brutal.
And learning that dialect is just something you can only do through exposure which you won’t get because nobody is going to hire someone who takes a few months to a year to be able to understand and speak like you (which is completely understandable).
