The tests on this CD-ROM
All the tests are provided as PDFs and as Word documents – the content is the same. You can print out the PDFs and use them as they are. (If you don't have Adobe Reader, get it from the Adobe website.) If you want to adapt the tests, you can edit the Word documents and save them on your computer. If you have any problems opening the documents, go to the documents folder on the MultiROM.
There are two versions (A and B) of the Progress tests and Cumulative tests. 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 reorganized.)
All the tests can be photocopied freely for classroom use. They may not be sold without the permission of Oxford University Press.
Guidelines for adapting the tests
You might want to add something extra you taught in class, remove something you decided to omit or didn't have time to teach, or even personalize the exercises. You can easily do this by:
- adding, removing, or editing sections.
- adding, removing, or editing questions.
You might also want to:
- put two tests together – for instance if you want a quick test for Units 1 and 2, you could combine Short tests 1 and 2.
- make tests which only cover Grammar or Vocabulary – you might want to give your students a test on the Grammar from Units 1, 2, and 3, so you could combine the Grammar sections from the Progress tests or Short tests for these Units.
- make the layout compatible with other tests you use.
- use the listening scripts provided and write extra comprehension questions, or vocabulary or pronunciation exercises.
Remember to save your customized tests on your computer if you want to use them again.
Short tests for each unit of the book
10 minutes
There are two Short tests for each unit. They’re quick to administer and quick to mark. They test Grammar and Vocabulary. Each test lasts 10 minutes. The first test in the unit covers the language learnt from lessons A, B and C in each unit, the second test covers lessons D, E and F.
Progress tests for each unit of the book – A and B versions
40 minutes
There is one test per unit. These comprehensive tests cover Grammar, Vocabulary, Reading and Listening for each unit of Solutions Advanced. Each test also includes an optional writing activity that students can do at home or in another lesson. Each test is arranged in two versions (A and B tests). The tests supplied as Word documents are the same as the version A of the test supplied as PDFs.
Cumulative tests (Units 1–5 and Units 6–10) – A and B versions
40 minutes
These Cumulative tests cover the first and second halves of Solutions Advanced. They are extended tests which cover Grammar, Vocabulary, Reading and Listening. Each test also includes an optional writing activity that students can do at home or in another lesson. Each test is arranged in two versions (A and B tests).
Audio tracks
The Progress tests and Cumulative tests include listening exercises. The scripts for this material can be found by clicking on 'Tapescripts' in the main menu. The audio tracks are on this disk, and will play in a normal CD player.
