how to prepare for pet?

A preparation course is not a requirement for those wanting to register for PET, although candidates may find it beneficial to prepare for the examination under the guidance of an experienced teacher. You can register for a course in our Teaching Centre in Warsaw and Krakow or other language schools which run preparation courses.

A wide range of books on preparing for PET is available at most language bookshops in Poland. Preparation materials are also available in the British Council Library.
