Prepositions Final Test
A2-B2 Level
This comprehensive test covers all preposition types from A2 to B2 level. The questions
begin with easier items testing basic time and place prepositions (in,
on, at) and become progressively harder, moving through
movement prepositions, time duration words (for, since,
by, until), and finally dependent prepositions and fixed
expressions. The difficulty increases with each section, so do not worry if the final
questions feel more challenging — they are designed for upper-intermediate learners.
To do well, remember the key patterns that examiners test most often: for time, think about size (in for months, on for days, at for times); for place, think about the type of space (in for enclosed areas, on for surfaces, at for points); for movement, think about direction (to, into, onto, through, across). Fixed expressions and dependent prepositions require memorisation rather than rules. This test helps you identify which preposition areas need more practice — pay attention to which questions you find most difficult. Completing this assessment is excellent preparation for Cambridge and IELTS exams.
