May I ask about the Reading and Writing part of the exam.....Does the child needs to know how to spell all the words in the Starters vocabulary list?  Or, only those ones that has appeared in the pass papers?  My son is 4.5 and I am preparing him for the exam however it seems there are endless material for him to study.

I already have the books (Kid's Box), passpapers and the CD.  Any recommendation on the technique for self studying?

Appreciate any feedback

No need to take class.  Self-study is fine.  I did not buy past paper, but buy the exercises from bookstore.  They are relatively cheaper.  About $100/3 tests.

Is it possible to skip the Starter level and directly take the Mover?

easybring

You can take Mover only if you got 10+ shields in Starter.

Sorry, get a bit confused now.

Can anyone tell how many books, answer books and CDs that I need to purchase for Starters exam?   Are these books mean practice exercise books only?  

And I should buy past paper separately from British Council?

Appreciate feedbacks please.

I think the past papers are useful although it's expensive. No need to enroll the course for this test and the money you have saved - can be used for the purchase of the past papers. My son got 15 shields via self study and it's really no need to waste money on the course.

anyone has the 2nd hand past paper of Starter for ?  please PM me if you have one for sell

Sorry for my late reply!! Actually, Starters 1, 2 ...6  means that there are six editions of the books. Each edition contains different sets of papers. So, Starters 1 is completely different from Starters 2 and so on.

I do agree that the materials are expensive but the kids really need practice. And if you keep them clean, you can re-sell them. As more and more kids are taking this test, I think some parents may be interested in the second hand books.

My kid has finished the Fun for Starters and the past papers.  The CDs are actually very expensive.  If you would like to have the answer books and CDs, please PM me.

You can buy the past papers from British Council, Commercial Press or Joint Publishers. You don't need to join any course, as it's too expensive and time-consuming. Self-study is OK.
