About A2 tests
A2 tests assess elementary learners on the past simple and continuous, comparatives and superlatives, future forms, countable and uncountable nouns, modal verbs of obligation and vocabulary for travel, shopping, health and free time.
Tests include multiple-choice and gap-fill grammar and vocabulary sections, a reading text with comprehension questions and a short writing task such as an email or a story. Several task types are similar to those in A2 Key, so tests also indicate exam readiness.
Each test comes with a full answer key and writing guidance. Print or download it as a PDF, or share a class link for online completion without student accounts.
