English proficiency testing

Yesterday our 7th grade kids (at least the majority of them) took the preliminary english test PET.  The halls were almost buzzing with their nervous energy.  I thought it interesting that they wore their formal attire (black bottoms, white tops and the school tie or scarf) for the occasion.

British testers come into the school to administer these tests which consist of a listening component, reading comprehension and a speaking test.  I think that would be a great job, traveling within Europe to administer these exams.
