B1 Preliminary (PET) is the exam that shows you have mastered the basics in that you can read simple textbooks and articles in English, write letters and emails on everyday subjects, take meeting notes and show awareness of opinions and mood in spoken and written English. The general level is that of ‘Mittlerer Schulabschluss’.

PET is made up of four papers that test your English skills: ‘Reading’ shows you can understand the main points from signs, newspapers and messages. ‘Writing’ shows that you can use vocabulary and structure correctly. In ‘Listening’ you have to be able to understand a range of spoken materials including announcements and discussions about everyday life. In ‘Speaking’ you take part in a conversation by asking and answering questions and talking, for example, about your likes and dislikes (pair interview with two candidates and two examiners).
