Cambridge YLE Aligned · CEFR Pre-A1 → B1

For young learners aged 5–12 · 4 skills · 40 points per section · about 20–60 minutes

Top Stars series by MM Publications Vietnam

Welcome

This test helps us find the right class level for you. Answer the questions from easy to hard. If you don't know an answer, you can leave it blank and move on.

⏱ Time: about 20–60 minutes · the test stops as soon as it has found the right level, so not every student sits every section · short break allowed between sections
⏱ Thời gian: khoảng 20–60 phút · bài thi tự dừng khi đã xác định đúng trình độ, nên không phải bé nào cũng làm hết các phần
🖊 Format: Multiple choice, matching, gap-fill, short writing, listening and read-aloud speaking - all 4 skills in every section
🔊 Mostly offline: Reading, Writing and Listening work with no internet. Online Speaking sends your recording to OpenAI to assess content and speech. Offline recordings need teacher review.

A student sits only the sections their level needs - usually one to three - so the total varies. Sections not sat are reported as "not attempted", never as zero.
Bé chỉ làm những phần phù hợp với trình độ (thường 1–3 phần), nên tổng điểm khác nhau. Phần không làm được ghi "chưa làm", KHÔNG tính 0 điểm.

Each skill is worth 10 points per section (Reading · Writing · Listening · Speaking), so every skill is scored out of 50 across the whole test.

Nam is taking his big blue jacket, and he tells Linh to take a warm one too. They are going by train, not by bus, because the train is faster than the bus and cheaper this month. The train is better for Linh as well, because she usually feels sick on the bus. There are no shops near the mountains, so they are bringing sandwiches and apples for lunch. Linh wants to take photos of the river, because she thinks it is the most beautiful place near the mountains.

Mr Ben: Listen to Nam telling Linh about his family's trip to the beach on Saturday. Nam's family wanted to go by car, but the car is broken, so now they are going by train. Nam thinks the train is slower, but more fun. At the beach, Nam wants to swim first. His little brother wants to build a sandcastle, but Nam thinks swimming is better, because the water is warm now. The weather forecast says it is going to be cloudy in the morning and sunny in the afternoon. The family is going to have a picnic on the sand, and Nam can't wait.

Text · Summer at Grandma's Farm
a small farmhouse in the countryside

My grandmother lives on a small farm. Every summer, my brother and I stay with her for two weeks. We love it there, but the first day is always difficult. There is no WiFi and no TV. At first, I felt bored. However, by the second day, my brother and I were playing with the chickens, helping my grandmother collect eggs, and swimming in the lake. When it was time to go home, I didn't want to leave!

Review · The New RoboFriend Toy

Is the new RoboFriend toy really worth the money? I bought one for my son last week, and I am disappointed. Yes, it can dance and tell jokes. Yes, it looks like the cute robot in the advertisement.

Text · The School Science Fair
students presenting a model volcano at a science fair

Last year, my school organised a Science Fair for the first time. Students from grades four, five and six could join. I was in grade six, so I decided to take part. I worked with my best friend, Huy, for three weeks. We chose to make a model of a volcano because we wanted to show how lava erupts.

The project wasn't easy. We had to read many books about volcanoes, buy materials, and practise our presentation. On the day of the fair, I was very nervous. There were more than fifty people in the audience. However, when we started our presentation, I felt confident because we had practised so many times.

We didn't win the first prize, but we got a special award for the most creative project. Next year, if I have more time, I will definitely join again with a better idea!

Article · Why Reading Matters
children reading books in a library

Many children today spend more time on smartphones than on books. However, reading is still one of the most important skills for young minds. When you read a good book, you do not just learn new words. You step into another world, meet new characters, and see things from different points of view.

Scientists have found that children who read for just 20 minutes a day do better in school, have bigger vocabularies, and can concentrate for longer. Reading also helps with feelings: when you read about a character who is sad or happy, you learn to understand those feelings in real life, too.

So the next time you have free time, try opening a book instead of your phone. Your brain — and your heart — will thank you.

Narrator: You will hear Dr Linh, a children's book author, speaking at a school event. Dr Linh: Good morning, students! People often ask me: "Why do you write for children, not adults?" Well, when I write for adults, they already know what life is. But when I write for children, I have the chance to show them something NEW for the first time — a new idea, a new feeling, a new hope. That's magical. My first book took me five years to finish. I wrote in the morning before my children woke up. Some days I wrote only one sentence. Some days I wrote ten pages. I never gave up because I believed in the story. Today, my books are in 12 languages, and I receive letters from children in Japan, Brazil, and even Iceland. That's the best reward — not money, but knowing that a child somewhere is reading my words and smiling.

Opinion — Should Schools Ban Mobile Phones?
a school classroom

Every morning, I see the same thing at the school gate: students with their eyes glued to a phone. Many principals now believe we should ban phones during school hours. I strongly agree with them.

First, research from the University of London shows that students score 6% higher on exams when phones are banned. Second, I have seen with my own eyes how phones destroy concentration. Students who check their phones every few minutes never really listen to a full lesson.

Some argue that phones are useful for learning. Of course they can be. But students can use school computers. Phones in pockets are a distraction, not a tool. Until we remove them, the classroom will never win against the screen.

Narrator: You will hear two parents, Ms Hoa and Mr Tuan, discussing children's bedtimes on a radio show. Host: Ms Hoa, what time should a 10-year-old go to bed? Ms Hoa: Not later than 9 PM, absolutely. Studies clearly show that children need 10 hours of sleep to grow properly. As a paediatrician, I see so many tired children every week. Parents who let their children stay up late are not being kind — they are hurting their development. Full stop. Mr Tuan: Well, I respectfully disagree. Every child is different. My daughter reads until 10 PM because that is her quiet time after homework. She wakes up fresh and does well at school. Rules should be flexible. Forcing every child to sleep at 9 ignores individual personality and family life. Host: Thank you both for your views.
