ABOUT PET
PET is the second level Cambridge ESOL exam. It is an intermediate level exam, at Level B1 of the Council of Europe's Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
What is Level B1?
PET is a valuable qualification if you want to work or study abroad or to develop a career in international business. If you can deal with everyday written and spoken communications (e.g. read simple books and articles, write simple personal letters, make notes during a meeting), then the Preliminary English Test (PET) from Cambridge ESOL is the exam for you.
