Preliminary English test
Marking and Grading
The final mark a candidate receives in PET is an aggregate of
the marks obtained in each of the three papers (Reading/
Writing, Listening and Speaking). There is no minimum pass
mark for individual papers.

PET has two passing grades:
Pass with Merit
Pass

Two Failing Grades:
Narrow Fail
Fail

‘Pass’ ordinarily corresponds to approximately 70% of the
total marks, and ‘Pass with Merit’ to approximately 85%. A
‘Narrow Fail’ result indicates that a candidate was within 5%
of the ‘Pass’ boundary.
Statements of Results contain a graphical display of a
candidate’s performance in each component. These are
shown against a scale of Exceptional – Good – Borderline –
Weak and indicate the candidate’s relative performance in
each paper.

Marking
Each item carries one mark. This gives a total of 25 marks,
which represents 25% of total marks for the whole
examination.
