Preliminary English Test / Preliminary English Test for Schools

Tell me more about it.

PET is language qualification at CEF level B1. It assesses candidates’ language skills at lower-intermediate level.

There are two versions of PET available: PET and PET for Schools. The two versions are identical in test format and level of question papers. The test certificates for both are the same. The only difference is that the content and treatment of topics in PET for Schools have been particularly targeted at the interests of school children.
