How to use this set
Cover the sentence. Have someone read it to you once, or play it in the app, then repeat it immediately without pausing to plan. Uncover and compare word by word — Content is scored on the words you actually produced.
A note on what these are: these are not real exam questions. Nobody outside Pearson has those. They are ScoreFluent bank questions written to the published format — the same ones the app serves and the same ones filmed in our practice videos.
