How To Prepare For BULATS
BULATS is designed to test candidate’s ability to apply Business English in a working environment.  Therefore, it does not require any special preparation. However, for the purpose of becoming familiar with the test format, candidates may refer to the information resources below:
•Textbooks and training courses:
There are several Business English textbooks available in the market, for example, “Business Explorer” by Cambridge ESOL, which comes in three volumes with both a student edition and a teacher’s edition. Each volume consists of 15 units, covering the most frequently met Business English encounters. Candidates are advised to choose textbooks that are most suitable for them. In addition, local PTAs across China have a list of BULATS training course providers for the reference of candidates.
