Prepare for your Aptis ESOL Test
A guide to all the materials we provide to help you prepare for your Aptis General & Aptis for Teachers: mock-exam tests, grammar & vocabulary exercises & more.
Grammar Tests & Exercises
Aptis Tutor offers grammar practice exercises and tests at B1 & B2 levels. The tests strictly follow the Aptis exam format and timing. The exercises deal with typical structures that are often problematic at these levels. We also look at these points in the Grammar Reference section, which is a good revision resource.

Aptis for Teens: Grammar Test 1
The Aptis for Teens Grammar Test forms part of the Core Test component of the exam. You have to answer 25 grammar questions in 25 minutes.
Grammar: Gerund or Infinitive?
There are no hard and fast rules to tell us which verbs take the gerund (-ing form), which are followed by to + infinitive, and which can take both forms; you just have to learn them.
Get Ready for B1: How to use ‘Like’
Talking about likes and dislikes is a typical topic in Part One of the Aptis Speaking tests. So let’s look at how to use the word ‘like’.
Advanced Grammar: Mixed Conditionals
Master mixed conditionals with our advanced grammar guide. Learn how to express complex ideas and hypothetical situations effectively in English.
Advanced Grammar: Complex Passives
At C1 level you need to know more than the basic passive in all the tenses, so it’s time to look at some more complex passive forms. Recognising and being able to use these forms will help you do well in your Advanced Aptis test, particularly in the writing tasks.
Grammar: Phrasal Verbs
There are three main types of phrasal verbs. We look at the grammar behind using phrasal verbs successfully, and what you need to remember.
Get Ready for B1: Adverbs of Frequency
We look at adverbs and expressions of frequency that describe how often we do an activity. “How often do you …?” is a typical oral exam question, both in Aptis Speaking and other tests.
Get Ready for B1: Grammar & Vocab Revision
We’ve decided to introduce a new section: Get Ready for B1. This will cover lower-level language points and vocabulary areas that students usually study pre-B1.
Grammar: ‘Too’ or ‘Enough’?
‘Too’ or ‘enough’? These two words often cause confusion. We look at how they’re used to modify nouns, adjectives and adverbs.
Aptis for Teachers: Grammar Practice Test 2
Another Aptis for Teachers Grammar Practice Test. Our tests follow the Aptis format of 25 multiple-choice questions with three options. The timing is also the same.

Aptis Grammar Practice Test 2
The Aptis Grammar Test forms part of the Core Test. Our tests follow official exam format and timing, and also help you with any wrong answers by explaining the rules.
Grammar: ‘Have Something Done’
‘Have something done’ (the causative ‘have’) is another passive form. We use it when we arrange (and usually pay) for someone else to do something for us.
