Upbeat is a bright, innovative, easy-to-use four-level course that reflects the lives and experiences of modern teenagers. Taking a multi-strand approach, Upbeat stimulates learning and broadens students’ horizons through lessons that engage both intellectually and emotionally.

The Test Book contains one A test and one B test for each unit of the Students’ Book testing the grammar, vocabulary and communicative material in the Students’ Book input lessons. The Test Book also has six skills tests (reading, writing and listening) and six speaking tests. A useful introduction contains guidance on testing techniques, an explanation of the various types of test used in the Upbeat course, an overview of the marking system and grids for recording results. A Placement Test at the beginning of the Test Book is designed to indicate the level of the class before starting to teach.
