Tips to pass

Make good use of the time you’re given before listening to:

- read and understand the questions and possible answers

highlight, circle…keywords

- use the time you’re given between first and second listen (1 min):

- re-read questions/answers

- concentrate again on keywords

- cross out wrong options/use brackets for headings you are not going to use

Matching texts

Match extracts to headings: 

- you will listen to different short clips that you will have to match to a suitable heading. 

- you are likely to be given more headings than needed.

- the headings might be either summarising the gist of the clip or rephrasing one specific part of the clip. 

Multiple choice texts

Multiple choice questions: you will be asked to choose the best possible answer.

- Choose the best answer- it may not necessarily be the only one: choose the most complete, the most accurate

- Beware of distractors

- Eliminate the options you know for sure are wrong - decide on the best

- Take quick notes on the side to help you remember

Fill the gaps

- Before you listen: try to anticipate the kind of information you’re going to need (noun, adjective, verb…)

- By and large, you’re expected to give the exact word (s) you heard or a synonym. 

- Sometimes, some word-building will be required. 

For example, if you hear ‘I feel happy’, in your answer you will have to write: The speaker talks about the happiness he’s experiencing.   

-

Final tip

 Give an answer to every question, as no points are deduced for wrong answers.
