PET (B1 Preliminary) Practice for Teachers: Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking

Practice in the style of Cambridge B1 Preliminary (PET), organised the way the exam is: every part of the Reading paper (notices, matching people to texts, long text, gapped text, multiple-choice cloze and open cloze) and of the Listening paper (pictures, short dialogues, notes with gaps and an interview) practised on its own, in several sets.

Then put it together: full timed mock papers for Reading, Writing and Listening with a marks sheet and answer key, eight four-part speaking mocks, emails, articles and stories with model answers, topic vocabulary and phrasal verbs, an exam guide and an 8-week study plan.

Every piece has a student sheet and a separate teacher’s page with the key, the model or the marking guide, and teaching points for one-to-one lessons online.
