Sound familiar?

Short message questions ask you to cover three points. You feel like you did — until you see the mark scheme and discover one wasn't clear enough.

The longer writing task requires around 100 words. You hit 50 and don't know how to keep going — the extra words you add are padding and the logic falls apart.

Grammar and spelling errors cost marks, but you can't spot them yourself when you review. After each practice, you still don't know exactly what went wrong.

You've never written a real PET writing question under exam conditions. The format is unfamiliar and costs you thinking time you can't afford.

Each question type mirrors the real PET writing exam
P1

Short Message Writing

Write a note, email, or text of 35–45 words covering three specified points — invitations, thanks, explanations, requests, and updates. Strict word limits mean every word must count and every point must be clear.

P2

Longer Piece of Writing

Write approximately 100 words — a story, email, article, or letter. Requires a clear structure, coherent logic, and accurate grammar throughout. The part of PET writing that most clearly demonstrates B1 expression, and the most worthwhile to practise systematically.
