B1 Preliminary for Schools is one of our Cambridge English Qualifications. It is the English language exam that shows that students have mastered the basics.
A B1 Preliminary for Schools qualification shows that a student has mastered the basics of English and now has practical language skills for everyday use.
This exam is the logical step in a student’s language learning journey between A2 Key for Schools and B2 First for Schools.
B1 Preliminary for Schools is targeted at the same CEFR level as B1 Preliminary but with content aimed at school-age learners rather than adults.
