Cambridge English: Certificate Level 1 Cambridge English:  Key (KET)

Cambridge English: Certificate Level 2 Cambridge English: Preliminary (PET)

The Cambridge Major Level Test (KET) and the Cambridge Major Level Test Level 2 (PET), organized by the Cambridge University Examinations Authority, are basic English language proficiency tests designed to assess the progress of learning and the ability to use English daily. There is no lower age limitation for this exam. Parents should first understand their English level and their ability to take the exam before registering for their children. As the two examination certificates are widely recognized by the international community, and are generally recognized by the Hong Kong academic community, some parents will use this as an application for secondary school.
