Oxford sometimes provides sample tests online. Search:

“Headway Elementary 4th edition sample unit test PDF”

You may find one or two unit tests free on academic resource sites like Oxford University Press ELT or Issuu (official publisher uploads).

If the official tests are out of reach financially or logistically, here are legal and effective alternatives:

  • Adapt Tests from Other Elementary Courses: New English File Elementary, Speakout Elementary, or English Result Elementary all have free sample tests online with similar CEFR A1/A2 content.
  • Scoring: Typically 50–60 points per test.

    • For teachers: No. The time wasted hunting for a clean, complete, legal PDF far exceeds the $40 cost of the official Teacher’s Resource Disc. Plus, the official files come with editable listening scripts, audio MP3s, and answer keys—all professionally aligned.

    For self-study students: Possibly. If you cannot afford the full teacher’s pack, use the Oxford Teachers’ Club free samples or create your own tests from the Student’s Book review sections. Avoid illegal downloads—they are often corrupted or mismatched to your edition.

    The official Headway Elementary 4th Edition Teacher’s Guide with Teacher’s Resource Center includes all tests as editable Word documents and printable PDFs.

    Important Note: The 4th Edition moved away from the old "Teacher’s Resource Book" (a physical book of photocopies) to a digital-only distribution model to protect copyright.

    These are quick revision sections found within the Student’s Book or Teacher’s Resource CD, designed to be completed in 15-20 minutes.
