We recommend starting from Unit 1 and progressing in order, but feel free to select units based on the student's level, needs, or interests. For students who have already completed the Grade 5 materials, Unit 1 may be used as a warm-up before moving on.
📝 About the Mock Test
The Mock Test (Version A) consists of three parts: Reading (10 questions), Listening (10 questions), and Speaking (6 questions) — 26 questions in total. A teacher's reading script, model answers, and scoring guide are included on the teacher's page.
We recommend using the mock test after completing all 14 units, but you may also use it at any point as a progress check. Scoring: 1 point per question. For Speaking, accept any reasonable English response — focus on communication, not grammar perfection. The results are not related to the official Eiken examination pass/fail criteria.
