The Entr y test
This is an optional test which covers some of the key
Grammar and Vocabulary points from the first four lessons
(1A, 1B, 1C, 1D) of New English File Elementary. You may
want to give your students this test so that you can get an
idea of their starting level – for example, are they complete
beginners or do they have some knowledge of English
already, and how much basic language do they know? If
your students are at a very low level, look out for the Extra
support ideas in the Teacher’s Book. If they are stronger,
look out for the Extra challenge ideas.
The A and B tests
There are two versions (A and B) of each File test and of the
End-of-course test (except the Speaking tests, which are
designed for students to do in pairs). If your students don’t
copy each other then you can just use the A tests. If your
students do copy each other then put them in pairs, one
with an A test and one with a B test – it’s almost impossible
for them to copy each other’s answers. (The A and B tests
cover exactly the same material, but the questions have
been changed and reorganized.)
The skills tests include KET-type exercises which reflect

the format of the KET exam.

If you only do ‘Grammar, Vocabulary, and
Pronunciation’, double your students’ mark
to give a total score out of 100, e.g.
Grammar, Vocabulary, Pronunciation mark

38 50

Total score

76 100

If you do ‘Grammar, Vocabulary, and Pronunciation’
and ‘Reading and Writing’, but not ‘Listening and
Speaking’, double your students’ ‘Reading and Writing’
mark to give a percentage, e.g.
Grammar, Vocabulary, and Pronunciation mark
Reading, Writing mark

38 50

18/25 = 36 50

Total score

74 100

There are marking guidelines for Writing and
Speaking on page 3.
These tests may be photocopied freely for classroom use. They
may not be adapted, printed, or sold without the permission
of Oxford University Press.

Listening tests
All the Listening tests re-use listenings from the Student’s
Book. Some students may remember the contexts of the
listenings, but they are very unlikely to remember the
detail, and the listening exercises are all KET-type tasks
which are different from the tasks that students have
already done.
The Listening numbers 1.19 are indicated in the
Answer key.
Answer key
The Answer key for the tests starts on page 71. There are
separate keys for the A and B versions of the tests.

Jane Hancock is a hardworking teacher in Sheffield. She gets up
at half past six every morning and has breakfast. Then she
makes her sandwiches and gets ready for work. Jane usually
walks to work because she thinks it’s important to take exercise
every day. She sometimes walks home again in the evening, but
more often gets the bus. Jane has dinner at seven o’clock and
goes to bed early. She doesn’t go out during the week, but she
often goes out with friends at the weekend. Jane makes sure that
she eats five portions of fruit and vegetables every day and fish
twice a week. She hardly ever eats meat and she doesn’t smoke.
For more exercise, Jane goes to the gym three times a week.
She’s very healthy and is hardly ever ill.
Tim lives by the sea in Cardiff. He’s a journalist for a local
newspaper. He usually gets up at eight o’clock, has a quick
shower and then drives to work. Tim doesn’t have time for
breakfast, but sometimes has a sandwich in the middle of the
morning. At lunchtime, he usually has a burger. He buys it from
the fast food restaurant across the road and then eats at his
desk. Tim works long hours and often stays late in the evening.
On those days, he goes to a restaurant with people from work.
They usually have quite a lot of wine with their meal and they all
smoke. Tim doesn’t eat fruit and he doesn’t like many vegetables.
He plays football once a month, but he isn’t very healthy.
