Cambridge Young Learners Practice Tests

The Cambridge Young Learners English examinations are an internationally recognized assessment standard for young learners aged 7 to 12. There are three levels: Starters, Movers, and Flyers; each one tests students’ English proficiency in reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

The Everybody Up Test Center includes practice tests for the Cambridge Young Learners examinations. These have been created to provide students with specific practice in the style of the Cambridge Young Learners examinations. Even if you are not preparing your students for these examinations, you can still use the tests to create extra practice, review tests, or worksheets throughout the year.

While there is not a direct link between the content of these tests and the syllabus of Everybody Up, the practice tests include the vocabulary, structures, and task types that students can expect to meet in the relevant level of each examination. Although we have matched the practice tests to the appropriate level of Everybody Up, it is up to you to prepare your students for the practice tests by looking at the content and ensuring that you have covered relevant vocabulary areas and structures before administering the tests.

Revision tips Make sure your students:

• know their colours (black, blue, brown, green, grey, orange, pink, purple, red, yellow).

• know the days of the week and can hear the difference, e.g. between Tuesday and Thursday.

• are confident about counting and recognising numbers from 1 to 100 and can recognise the difference, e.g. between 14 and 40.

• have learnt prepositions carefully, particularly prepositions of place, and are confident about the difference between them. Many questions rely on their knowledge of these prepositions.

• have had plenty of practice of spelling out words and recognising all the letters of the alphabet. They should pay particular attention to the sound of vowels, e.g. the difference between the letters e and a.

• know the meaning of the word double, e.g. double t.

• look at pictures carefully, paying attention to details of where things are, what colour they are, what people and animals are doing, etc.

• revise lexical items using pictures of objects and verbs from the Starters, Movers and Flyers Vocabulary Lists, where possible arranged into lexical sets.

• are familiar with the English names in the Vocabulary List.

• are able to distinguish between different question words, e.g. who, where, which, what, how, how many, etc.

• are able to talk about themselves and answer questions about their everyday lives.

• revise grammar areas thoroughly (see the Structure List in the YLE handbook) paying particular attention to the following:

- verb forms: positive, negative, interrogative, imperative and contracted forms

- tenses: present simple / present continuous / past simple for regular and irregular verbs

- words taking -ing or the infinitive

- simple conjunctions and the difference between them

- comparative and superlative forms of adjectives

Practical tips for test day Tell your students to:

• arrive in good time for their tests.

• have several sharp pencils with them.

• write in pencil so that they can make changes neatly.

• take a rubber with them.

• make sure they have all the coloured pencils (ready sharpened) they will require for Listening Part 5.

Remind students to:

• look at the words and pictures very carefully.

• underline the important words in sentences.

• check carefully before deciding on an answer.

• make changes clearly.

• stay calm during the listening test if they miss something on the recording during the first listening as they will get another chance to hear the information.
