INTRODUCTION

THE NEW PROFICIENCY TESTBUILDER

The New Proficiency Testbuilder is much more than a book of Practice Tests. A completely new version

for the Revised Proficiency exam in operation from December 2002, it is designed not only to enable

students to do tests of exactly the kind they will encounter in the exam itself, but also to provide them

with valuable further practice, guidance and explanation. This will enable them to prepare thoroughly for

the exam and increase their ability to perform well in it.

The New Proficiency Testbuilder contains:

Four complete Practice Tests for the Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency

in English

These tests reflect exactly the level and types of question to be found in the exam.

Further Practice and Guidance pages

These are included for each part of each paper and they come immediately after the part of the exam

they relate to (see Contents). For each part of each paper, they include What's Tested sections, which

provide detailed explanations of the precise focus of each part of the exam, and Tips sections, which

provide advice on the best approaches to answering the questions. Throughout these pages, students

are encouraged to draw their own conclusions as to what the correct answers to the questions in the test

are, and the step-by-step approach taken enables students to develop and apply the right processes

when answering the questions in the exam.

For PAPER 1 READING, the Further Practice and Guidance pages contain exercises and questions

directly related to the questions in the test.

For PAPER 2 WRITING, the Further Practice and Guidance pages provide outlines enabling students to

plan their answers. They also contain samples of each kind of writing that may be included in the exam

(article, report, etc) for students to assess.

For PAPER 3 USE OF ENGLISH, the Further Practice and Guidance pages contain exercises and

questions directly related to the questions in the test. They also contain exercises for planning the

summary tasks and samples of summaries for students to assess.

For PAPER 4 LISTENING, the Further Practice and Guidance pages contain exercises directly related to

the questions in the test.

For PAPER 5 SPEAKING, the Further Practice and Guidance pages provide exercises on vocabulary

likely to be useful in general terms, exercises on vocabulary relating to the themes for discussion in the

tests and practice in talking about pictures.
