Your students are nearly ready to take their exam – it’s time to ensure that they’re fully prepared. Use all of these resources to help your students learn in the classroom, and at home.

Mock test toolkit

Running a mock test gives your learners a true exam day experience, helps you understand their progress and decide if they are ready for their exam.

Our toolkits help teachers preparing students for Cambridge English Qualifications. They include tips for running a mock test, strategies for giving effective feedback to your learners and activities to increase your students' confidence and understanding of their exam.

If you prepare students for Pre A1 Starters, A1 Movers or A2 Flyers get our young learner mock test toolkit.

Or if you prepare students for A2 Key for Schools through to C2 Proficiency get our older learner mock test toolkit.
