The book is divided into five sections, each containing tests of a similar type,
as follows.
The first test in each section [1,11,21,31,41] tests a range of phrasal verbs
using the common verbs come, take, get, go and be. The second [2,12,22,32,42]
puts a variety of interesting phrasal verbs into situations and asks you to work
out from the context what they mean. The third [3,13,23,33,43] tests a range of
phrasal verbs using the common particles away, down, in, off and out. The
fourth [4,14,24,34,44] tests phrasal verbs which have the pattern verb +
adverb + preposition. The fifth [5,15,25,35,45] provides situations and asks you
to supply or define the phrasal verbs in them. The sixth [6,16,26,36,46] deals
with fifty phrasal verbs which have more than one meaning and tests them in
contexts such as matching pairs of sentences and cartoons. The seventh
[7,17,27,37,47] is quite searching, for it asks you to complete sentences by
selecting, from a choice of four phrasals, the one which best fits
the situation. In some cases, other alternatives would fit, but are not as
good. The eighth [8,18,28,38,48] is designed to provide a bit of amusement - and puzzlement - by asking you to find one-letter spelling
mistakes in newspaper headlines. The ninth [9,19,29,39,49] deals with
nouns and adjectivals formed from phrasal verbs, a very important
feature of English. The tenth [10,20,30,40,50] provides some more light
relief by offering you some crosswords and similar word games involving
phrasal verbs.
The tests are designed to produce lively and interactive group work when
used in class but have been constructed to allow the keen student to work on
his/her own (keys to all the tests are available at the end of the book).
In writing this book, I freely acknowledge my debt to Peter Watcyn-Jones,
who first created the Test Yourself series and set a high standard. If this
book in the Test Yourself series is only half as witty and wise as his, I
shall be well pleased.

This book will help you to learn a lot of new English words. But in order for
the new words to become "fixed" in your mind, you need to test yourself again
and again. Here is one method you can use to help you learn the words:
1. Read through the instructions carefully for the test you are going to try.
Then try the test, writing your answers in pencil.
2. When you have finished, check your answers and correct any mistakes you
have made. Read through the test again, paying special attention to the
words you didn't know or got wrong.
3. Try the test again five minutes later. You can do this either by covering up
the words (for example, in the picture tests) or by asking a friend to test
you. Repeat this until you can remember all the words.
4. R u b out your answers.
5. Try the test again the following day. (You should remember most of the
words.)
6. Finally, plan to try the test at least twice again within the following month.
After this most of the words will be "fixed" in your mind.
