Here are a few tips on how to prepare for the Elementary English Test:

• Look at the EET Sample Test to become familiar with the content
• Check the Test Level Guide for level A1 and make sure you have the correct level in all skills
• Practise writing short messages – many candidates have problems with this
• Read any leaflets and promotional material you see in public places or that are sent to you – there are many useful words here for you to learn
• Use every opportunity you have to speak English – this will help you talk about yourself during the speaking test
• Listen to English speakers and notice which phrases and words they use to talk about themselves
• Prepare with the help of the following books:
