Instructions
The Progress Tests (p200-p223) are designed to be used after
students have completed each unit of the Student's Book.
Each Progress Test checks students' knowledge of the key
language areas taught in the unit. The final exercise of each
Progress Test also tests students'knowledge oflanguage
taught in previous units. It is helpful for students to have
done the Review section at the end of each unit before doing
a Progress Test. You can also encourage students to revise for
the test by reviewing the relevant Language Summary in the
back of the Student's Book and by doing exercises for that
unit on the CD-ROM and in the Workbook. Note that
Progress Tests 6 and 12 also contain a listening section.

Allow students 40 minutes for Progress Tests

and 50 minutes for Progress Tests 6 and 12. You

may wish to adjust this time depending on your class.

Photocopy one copy of the test for each student. Students

should do the tests on their own. You can either check the
answers with the whole class at the end of the test or
collect in the tess and correct them yourself. Keep a
record of the test scores to help you monitor individual
student's progress and for report writing at the end of
the course.

Progress Tests can also be given as homework for general

revision.

There is a listening section in Progress Tests 6 and 12 onl;z

The corresponding recording scripts (R6.9 and R12.8) are in
the Answer Key for the tests. Both R6.9 and R12.8 have two
separate sections. Focus on one section of the recording at a
time. Allow students time to read through the questions for
that section in the Progress Test before you start. Play that
section of the recording without stopping and allow students
to answer the questions. Then play that section of the
recording again without stopping. Repeat this procedure for
the other section.
