							| Best way to prepare student for PET exam 
 |  
							| Hello dear colleagues, 
 
 I �m a bit lost and I need your help.
 
 
 I �m working with a student who is taking the PET exam in March. We already worked with the book PET Result but we didn �t finish it.
 
 
 Now I don �t know what to do: do you think it would be better if we continued working on a preparation book or would it be better if we started doing some past exam papers?
 
 
 Thank you and keep up the excellent work I always see on this website! We �re a great group of teachers!

							| Hi Diana, 
 I �d recommend a mix-and-match approach when teaching PET. Alternate using the preparation book with doing past papers and then focusing on key areas. Week 1 you might want the student to take a past Reading only section of the Reading and Writing paper then use an appropriate section of the book then go through technique for each part. Week 2 could focus on Speaking skills and so on. I always make my students do writing for homework every week and in class we go over technique for each kind of writing. Speaking and Writing are areas where technique can make a huge difference to exam results so spend more time focused on that.
 
 Good luck!
