B1PET

B1 Preliminary for Schools preparation pathway

Prepare through Main ideas, detail, inference and structure in longer texts, Complete emails, articles or stories and stage evidence.

What this task checks

B1 Preliminary for Schools preparation should start with entry evidence, then align all four skills with official task demands—not with question volume.

Three-step practice

  1. Stable A2 across four skills, not only task familiarity
  2. Main ideas, detail, inference and structure in longer texts
  3. Use official preparation material to understand tasks, then reassess with what CEQ currently makes available.
