Sample papers and handbooks

We have a range of materials that you can use to help you prepare for your TKT tests.

Each module has a sample test with answers that you can use to practise. They show you what a full test paper will look like and the types of questions that will appear.

You can also use the TKT handbooks to familiarise yourself with the tests before you take them. There is a handbook to cover Modules 1–3, and a separate handbook for each of the specialist Modules.
