Each pack contains:

  • a class set of ten reusable exam papers
  • Speaking Test materials, which include candidate visuals and interlocutor scripts
  • Teacher Booklet containing answer keys, mark schemes and sample answers for the Writing paper, tapescripts for the Listening paper, and the assessment criteria and a copy of the Cambridge ESOL Common Scale for the Speaking paper
  • photocopiable candidate answer sheets, which means that packs can be reused with different groups of students
  • CD with audio recordings for the Listening paper.

The recommended retail price for each pack ranges from £45 to £50.

Past Paper Packs are available to buy from centres, bookshops and the ELT section of the Cambridge University Press site.
