This book contains ten complete practice tests for the Cambridge English B1 Preliminary Reading, previously known as the Preliminary Certificate in English (PET).

These sample tests have been written to closely replicate the Cambridge PET Reading exam experience, and so each test follows the same structure and wording as official B1 Preliminary Reading papers.

Candidates of all ages can take the B1 Preliminary test. In this book we have provided content with topics applicable to all age groups, including adult learners.

In the examination, candidates will need to:

• answer multiple-choice questions to show understanding of short messages, as well as longer texts.
• match people to the correct service, holiday, experience, etc. that they are looking for.
• complete a text in which sentences have been removed by choosing the correct sentence.

This resource includes answer keys, providing a large bank of high-quality practice material for students preparing for the Cambridge B1 Preliminary.
