                        TEST MASTER
THE TESTS ON THIS TEST MASTER CD-ROM will provide you with an
invaluable new resource to accompany New Opportunities.

Easy to use
     The tests are based strictly on the content of Opportunities
      Elementary, providing a fair measure of students’ progress.
     An interactive menu makes it easy to find the tests you are looking
      for.
     Keys and audio scripts are provided to make marking the tests as
      straightforward as possible.
     Most tests come in A and B versions. This makes it easier for you
      to invigilate the test by making it harder for students to copy from
      each other.
     The audio files for the listening tests are conveniently located on
      the same CD.

Types of test
The Test Master CD contains five types of test.
            Placement Test/s
            Module Tests
            Progress Tests
            Mid Course Test
            End of Course Test

Flexible
You can print the tests out and use them as they are – or you can adapt
them. You can use Microsoft® Word to edit them as you wish to suit your
teaching situation, your students or your syllabus. Here are some of the
things you may wish to do.
     Delete or add exercises to make the test shorter or longer.
     Delete exercises or items which relate to points which you decided
      to skip.
     Add in exercises to cover extra content you introduced into the
      course.
     Edit exercises to make them harder or easier, or to introduce key
      vocabulary.
     Edit the format of exercises so that they are consistent with other
      exams that you use.
     Personalise the content of exercises to bring them to life. For
      example, incorporate the names of students in the class, other
      teachers in the school, famous people and places from your
      country…
     Use the audio scripts to create extra listening exercises – for
      example by removing words to create gap fills, adding options to
      create multiple choice exercises or introducing deliberate mistakes
      for the students to correct.
     Add in the name and/or logo of your school at the head of the test.
Finally, save your new version on your hard drive.

Using this CD
The ideal way to use this CD-ROM is to treat it as a master. Copy the tests

them on to cassette.
     Test files The installation wizard will copy the files to your hard
      drive. See below for installation on Windows, Macintosh or Linux

      cassette.
