The test-papers in this book have been devised mainly for the use of students who have completed, or nearly completed, their secondary education. Its purpose is to give somé guidance and assistance to such students in their preparation for first public examinations, such as Lower Certificate (Cambridge), Royal Society of Arts (Stages II and III) and Institute of Linguists (Grade II Certificate). The exercises are specifically designed to meet the new requirements of those studying for the Lower Certificate whether at home or abroad.
