PET
PRACTICE TESTS
Five tests for the Cambridge
Preliminary English Test
(Ca"'h";d~. Levell)
These five practice tests closely reflect the revised

PET (1996) both in terms of content and appearance,
therefore providing effective and realistic exam practice.
• The author is a highly experienced examiner and has

been involved in the PET revision. Her up-to-date
knowledge provides students with accurate
preparation for the revised test.
• The five practice tests include the greater number of

topics and wider vocabulary range of the revised
syllabus.
• Genuine examination conditions are simulated for the

Ustening Test through the inclusion of instructions,
pauses and repeats on the cassettes.
• Full colour photographs and illustrations are included

for the Speaking Test.
• Photocopiable answer sheets give students valuable

practice in transferring their answers trom the test
papers within the time limits of the real test.
The With Answers edition contains detailed information

on marking and sample student answers to Witting Part 3,
as well as a full key, tapescripts ot the recorded material
and an expanded version of one ot the speaking tests.
