What can the Exam Companion Workbook can do for you and your students?
Co-created with teachers, made to fit your needs
Built with real classroom insight, its flexible design lets you adapt quickly how and what you teach, whether you are targeting specific skills or building the PAU exam pathway.
The up-to-date content you need
With dedicated practice in Reading, Linguistic Competence, Writing and Listening, Exam Companion Workbook’s content is up to date, relevant and fully exam-aligned for all regions.
Focus on what really matters
The six modules per section (reading, listening, writing and linguistic competence) break exam tasks down into clear, manageable steps. That way, students focus on key skills, practise targeted question types and make real progress.
A Supportive Companion
More than practice, this is guided preparation. With clear explanations and structured support, students build confidence and the skills to perform at their best in every part of the PAU exam.
“The fact that each module is divided in the same three parts: train, practise and test is very helpful for students. They understand the process they are undergoing in order to learn. If this process makes sense to them, I think they get more engaged and feel more motivated to work.”
(Beatriz Eslava Franco, Navarra, IES Julio Caro Baroja)
More than just practice – it’s guided preparation
With built-in mindfulness tips, the Exam Companion gives students everything they need for the exam: the skills, the knowledge, and the mindset.
‘I’m really glad I got to see first-hand that my feedback genuinely makes a difference.’
