INTRODUCTION
Purpose o f the tests

T hese m ultiple-choice tests are designed to assess students’ progress
during courses o f study from beginner up to the end o f intermediate level.
T h e language items are derived from an analysis o f the com m on core o f
item s to be found in widely used coursebooks, including Penguin’s Way
A head, Cassell’s Foundation English, Longm an’s K ernel series, Streamline
and the Strategies series. This battery o f tests has been produced for a wide
range o f situations and has been field-tested, so that, we hope, it will serve
your needs, given that no tests will fit every situation exactly.
E ach book in the series contains ten tests o f forty items each. W ithin
each book there are three levels o f language difficulty and three alternative
or parallel tests for each level. T h e tenth test in each book, called the
R eview T est, is designed to function as an achievem ent test, and contains a
range o f language items from the other nine tests and a few at a level
slightly beyond the level o f the book:

ACHIEVEMENT
Review Test
T h e teacher’s notes to each book contain:

— a distribution list show ing the kind o f language items being tested —this
can be used for diagnostic purposes;
— an inventory o f the language item s;
— a key to the tests.
L ev el o f the tests
Teaching systems and situations vary widely. As a rough guide only, the
levels o f each book are equivalent to:
Book
Hours of instruction
Typical name of level
50-150
150-250
elementary-lower intermediate
250-350
lower intermediate-intermediate
beginner-elementary
B y the end o f B o o k 3, students would typically start a course leading to an

exam ination o f the level o f the Cam bridge First Certificate.
6 INTRODUCTION
Contents o f the tests

Broadly, the structure o f cach test is as follows:
QUESTIONS
1 -2 5
T estin g fo r g ra m m a tic a l a ccu ra cy

1 -1 0 Various language areas (see distribution lists).
11-15 Prepositions/phrasal verb particles.
16—25 Verb form/verb use/collocations.
2 6 -3 0
T estin g k n ow led ge o f ev ery d ay questions and responses

Phatic utterances.
Realisations o f functions such as requesting, suggesting, advising,
inviting, warning.
3 1 -4 0
V o cab u la ry item s (B o o k s 1 and 2)

Semantic fields o f the com m on core o f vocabulary to be found in
the criterion coursebooks.
R e a d in g /P h o n o lo g y (B o o k 3)
Reading comprehension test items based on text.
Sign-sound correspondences.
Administration o f the tests

Field-testing to single- and to mixed-nationality groups, both in the U K
and overseas, suggests that each test, excluding administration (such as
issuing test books, going through examples and making sure that the
students understand what they have to do), will take between thirty and
thirty-five minutes.
A note on ‘correct’ answers

It is tiresome for teachers to be faced with the argument that one o f the
distractors is also ‘possible’. For example, a ‘possible’ response to an
introductory ‘M y name is Jo h n Sm ith’ is ‘You r servant, sir’, but it must be
many decades since that response was current. The criteria forju d ging the
‘correctness’ o f an answer must be:
1 Does it conform to the norm o f the English being taught? Thus a
response which is taught in an American English course must be
‘correct’, even though it would not be the preferred form for a British
teacher. We have tried to avoid such distractors, but we may not have
eliminated them completely.
2 If it satisfies the first criterion, is it then acceptable? A form which is
theoretically possible may be unacceptable simply because it is not
idiomatic, that is, no English speaker would ever use it (for example,
archaisms like ‘Your servant, sir’).

M y cousin Bianca is a m otor mechanic. She w orks in a busy garage in the

everything about the jo b , except for the fact that she can never seem to get
com pletely clean at the end o f the day. All the other mechanics, except for
the supervisor, are men. She gets on with everyone very well, although she
occasionally has trouble with customers who think that, being a woman,
she cannot be a good mechanic. As it happens, she is considered by m ost o f
her w orkm ates to be the best mechanic in the garage. H er husband Gianni is
the accountant and w orks at the Com pany head office, which is ju st outside

Each book of th e Penguin English Thsts covers the
equivalent of 50 hours teaching. There are ten tests
in each book; nine of them are carefully graded into
three levels of difficulty and record the student’s
progress within each level, while the tenth test in
each book is a ReviewTest, covering the whole
range of work at that level. Each test consists of 40
items dealing with key areas of grammar,
phonology, vocabulary and usage.
Each test is designed to be administered in
3 5 -4 0 minutes
The tests include some new ideas for assessing
lamruage competence and are intended to
stimulate and interest the students at the same
time as measuring their progress. The tests have
been thoroughly pre-tested on both single and
mixed language groups.
Each book contains an Inventory of Language
Items, together with a Distribution List of Items,
making it easier for the teacher to use the tests for
diagnostic purposes.
A Teacher’s version with A n sw ers is
available.
B o o k 1: Elementary (after 50 hours’ teaching)

teaching)
