More information

What is the PET exam?

The PET (Preliminary English Test) exam is given in order to evaluate how well a test taker can understand factual and situational information and then react to it accurately in English.

The PET test can cover topics such as daily events, reading text from books or magazines, writing personal emails or letters and taking notes in situations such as work or school.


What is the General PET exam?

The general PET (Preliminary English Test) test is used to evaluate the current English level of a student and is considered an intermediate English test.

The general PET consists of a Reading and Writing module that has 8 sections total, a Listening module that has 4 sections and a speaking section that involves a one on one interview between 2-3 test takers.

To pass the PET you need to score at least 70 out of 100 points.

What is the PET for Schools exam?

The PET (Preliminary English Test) for schools test is identical in content to the general PET test.

The primary difference between the two exams is that the PET for Schools exam contains material that is meant for younger students.

This means that while the students need to study the same material, the complexity of the subject matter will be different than it would be for the exam taken by adults.
