1 Test Bank MultiROM

Introduction

Welcome to the Frontrunner 1 Test Bank MultiROM – the complete teacher resource for continuous assessment, with materials that you can customize for your students and your teaching situation.

This MultiROM works in two ways:
In your computer it has tests as PDFs and Word documents, and answer keys.
In your CD player you can play the audio tracks for the listening exercises.

The tests on this CD-ROM

All the tests are provided as PDFs and as Word documents – the content is the same. You can print out the PDFs and use them as they are. (If you don't have Adobe Reader, get it from the Adobe website.) If you want to adapt the tests, you can edit the Word documents and save them on your computer. If you have any problems opening the documents, go to the documents folder on the MultiROM.
There are two versions (A and B) of the Progress tests and Cumulative tests. If your students don't copy each other then you can just use the A tests. If your students do copy each other then put them in pairs, one with an A test and one with a B test – it's almost impossible for them to copy each other's answers. (The A and B tests cover exactly the same material, but the questions have been reorganized.)
All the tests can be photocopied freely for classroom use. They may not be sold without the permission of Oxford University Press.

Guidelines for adapting the tests

You might want to add something extra you taught in class, remove something you decided to omit or didn't have time to teach, or even personalize the exercises. You can easily do this by:

• adding, removing, or editing sections.
• adding, removing, or editing questions.

You might also want to:

• put two tests together – for instance if you want a quick test for Units 1 and 2, you could combine Short tests 1 and 2.
• make tests which only cover Grammar or Vocabulary – you might want to give your students a test on the Grammar from Units 1, 2, and 3, so you could combine the Grammar sections from the Progress tests or Short tests for these Units.
• make the layout compatible with other tests you use.
• use the listening scripts provided and write extra comprehension questions, or vocabulary or pronunciation exercises.

Remember to save your customized tests on your computer if you want to use them again.

Placement test

45 minutes

The Placement test is intended to help teachers decide which level of Frontrunner, (1, 2, or 3), is the most suitable for their students. It should be given at the beginning of the school year.

Frontrunner Placement test has been developed after consultation with teachers and is designed to assess students’ knowledge of the key language as well as their receptive and productive skills. This will enable teachers to have a greater understanding of what level their students are at.
The test contains:

• 50 multiple choice questions which assess students’ knowledge of key grammar and vocabulary from 1 to intermediate levels.
• A reading text with 10 graded comprehension questions.
• An optional writing task that assesses students’ ability to produce the language.

The 50 multiple choice questions and the reading task are designed to be done together in a 45-minute lesson. The writing task can be done in the following lesson and should take approximately 20 minutes. The Placement test includes an answer key and a key for interpreting scores.

Short tests for each unit of the book

10 minutes

There are two Short tests for each unit. They’re quick to administer and quick to mark. They test Grammar, Vocabulary and Everyday English. Each test lasts 10 minutes. The first test in the unit covers the language learnt from lessons A, B and C in each unit, the second test covers lessons D, E and F.

• Test One: Grammar and Vocabulary
• Test Two: Grammar and Everyday English.

Progress tests for each unit of the book – A and B versions

40 minutes

There is one test per unit. These comprehensive tests cover Grammar, Vocabulary, Reading and Listening for each unit of Frontrunner 1. Each test also includes an optional writing activity that students can do at home or in another lesson. Each test is arranged in two versions (A and B tests). The tests supplied as Word documents are the same as the version A of the test supplied as PDFs.

Cumulative tests (Units 1–5 and Units 6–10) – A and B versions

40 minutes

These Cumulative tests cover the first and second halves of Frontrunner 1. They are extended tests which cover Grammar, Vocabulary, Reading and Listening. Each test also includes an optional writing activity that students can do at home or in another lesson. Each test is arranged in two versions (A and B tests).

Audio tracks

The Progress tests and Cumulative tests include listening exercises. The scripts for this material can be found by clicking on 'Tapescripts' in the main menu. The audio tracks are on this disk, and will play in a normal CD player.
