Questions and answers

Are the tests for level A1?
Yes. The tests are for level A1 (CEFR), the first year of English. They suit students from 9 to 12 years old. The last topic (my home and prepositions of place) is for the second half of A1.
Do my students need a translation?
No. The instructions are in simple English, and each task starts with an example. The hints are pictures. Students from any country can do the tests without a translation.
Why does each topic have three versions?
The three versions test the same grammar with different sentences. You can use one version for the test, one for a retake, and one for a review lesson.
Do the tests use British or American spelling?
The tests use British spelling, for example colour and favourite. The answer key also accepts American spelling, for example color and favorite.
What is the licence?
Licence: one teacher, one classroom. You can print the tests for your own students as often as necessary. Do not share the PDF files with other teachers or upload them to a website.
How do I get the files?
After the payment, the download links show on the next page. We also send the 15 PDF files to your email address as attachments. If you sign in with the same address, this page shows the download links again.
Can I get a refund?
The tests are digital files, and you get them immediately after the payment. For this reason we do not refund a completed purchase. Download the free sample before you buy. If a file is damaged or missing, write to info@sorulab.app and we send it again.
