The Collins practice tests book for Cambridge English Qualifications Pre A1
Starters helps young learners to prepare for the Cambridge English Qualifications Pre A1 Starters test. These three practice tests reflect the structure and content of the official test, providing authentic practice for students at this level.
The Teacher’s Guide and Parent’s Guide are both available, free of charge, online at www.collins.co.uk/cambridgeyounglearners. They contain a comprehensive overview of each section of the test, so that teachers, parents and students can become acquainted with the test. They are full of tips and ideas to help students to prepare for the test and they also provide full answer keys, scripts for the Speaking papers and audio scripts of the online recordings. They also include the official Pre A1 Starters vocabulary list.
The recordings for the Listening papers, as well as model answers for the Speaking papers, can also be found at www.collins.co.uk/cambridgeyounglearners. These not only demonstrate the interchange between the student and examiner in the Speaking papers, but also give students the opportunity to practise speaking in English so that they can be fully prepared and confident about what to expect on the day of the test.
