A NEW WAY OF TAKING THE EL PRELIMINARY ENGLISH TEST
Now, there is a new way of taking the PRELIMINARY ENGLIS TEST (PET): CB-PET (Computer-based PET). The candidates who take the COMPUTER-BASED examination, do the sections of Reading, Writing and Listening Comprehension on a screen. The answers are sent electronically to Cambridge ESOL. The Oral examination is done in person, face to face, for any of two formats of the exam.
PET is the second level Cambridge ESOL exam. It is an intermediate level exam, at Level B1 of the Council of Europe's Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. If you can deal with everyday written and spoken communications (e.g. read simple textbooks and articles, write simple personal letters, make notes during a meeting), then this is the exam for you.
PET is a valuable qualification if you want to work or study abroad or to develop a career in international business. It is also useful preparation for higher level exams, such as FCE (First Certificate in English), CAE (Certificate in Advanced English) and CPE (Certificate of Proficiency in English).
Why take COMPUTER BASED- PET?
Studying for PET is a popular way to improve your language skills and use them in a wide range of contexts. PET covers the four main language skills - reading, writing, listening and speaking, using material from real life situations. It provides evidence of practical skills, and indicates sufficient ability to be of practical use in clerical, secretarial and managerial jobs, and in many industries, such as tourism, where contact with English speakers is required.
If you are successful, you will receive a certificate from University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations. The certificate is recognised by employers in many countries, and recognised by universities in some countries as an initial qualification in English.
The advantages of the CB-PET are:
• More dates to take the exam.
• Entry deadlines exam dates.
• Results available on line only five weeks after the candidate has taken the exam.
The only thing that is different about this exam, is the way the candidates take it.
The Computer-based exam contains exactly the same as the traditional PET. The qualifications and the grades are the same.
