B1 Speaking: Ten practice tests for the Cambridge Preliminary

10 Speaking practice tests with answer keys

Practice makes perfect...

This edition of sample tests has been written to closely replicate the Cambridge exam experience, and has undergone rigorous expert and peer review. You or your students, if you are a teacher, will hopefully enjoy the wide range of assessment topics and benefit from the repetitive practice, something that is key to preparing for this part of the test.

This Speaking section of the exam is taken in pairs of candidates, who are assessed by two examiners: the interlocutor and the assessor. The interlocutor is responsible for delivering the instructions, handling the test booklet and interacting with the candidates, while the assessor simply listens and marks each candidate’s performance.

This resource comprises ten exam-styled Speaking tests and bonus test material.
