About the exam
The Cambridge English: Preliminary exam is made up of three papers, each testing a different area of ability in English. Paper 1: Reading and Writing is worth 50 percent of the total mark. Paper 2: Listening and Paper 3: Speaking are each worth 25 percent of the mark.
Paper I: Reading and
Writing (I hour and 30 minutes)
Paper 1 has two sections. The Reading section has five parts (35 questions) and is worth 25 percent of the final exam mark. The Writing section has three parts and is also worth 25 percent of the final exam mark. Each part tests different reading and writing skills.
Paper 2: Listening
(approximately 30 minutes)
The Listening Paper has four parts, with a total of 25 questions. It is worth 25 percent of the final mark. You hear each recording twice.
Paper 3: Speaking
(10-12 minutes)
There are four parts to the Speaking Test. You take the Speaking Test with another candidate, and there will be two examiners. One examiner asks the questions and the other examiner just listens.

Students will finish the Gold Preliminary course confident of what to expect in the Exam from the detailed Exam focus section and tips for every practice task. In addition, there is an extensive Writing reference section with sample graded answers and comments, and useful language for each genre.
The Gold Preliminary package combines a suite of printed and digital components that can be used individually or in a multitude of combinations to suit the learner's needs and the technology available.
