❌ Predictable structure – Follows the same pattern as other Gateway unit tests: vocab → grammar → reading → listening → writing. No surprises, which is fine for routine but not challenging for stronger students.
❌ Some outdated references – Depending on the printing year, mentions of MP3 players or digital cameras may feel dated. Check your version.
❌ No speaking component – The unit often includes speaking in the coursebook, but the test omits it. You’d need to add your own speaking check.
❌ Answer key errors – Teachers have occasionally reported minor mistakes in the answer key for the "New" edition (e.g., mixing up present perfect simple/continuous). Double-check before grading. Used to describe actions that will be completed
