Complete Listening Test
Try the whole listening test. Here are some tips how to go about it.
- You will hear every recording twice, so try to get as many answers as possible the first time you listen. However, you will have another chance, so don’t panic if you miss some.
- Start reading the questions as soon as you are allowed to open the paper. You know how to do the tasks so it is usless to listen to the instructions.
- Underline or highlight the keywords in the questions
- On the other hand, do NOT jump to conclusion about the correct answer just because you hear a keyword!! It is very often a distractor. Read the questions properly.
- Don’t forget to transfer your answers on the answer sheet at the end of the real exam.
Good luck.
