CITO listening test

How can you prepare?

Listen and watch a lot of English programs, TV series, movies, news items, etc. 

At first, try to watch things you have already watched before in Dutch or with Dutch subtitles.

Use English subtitles if you find it difficult to understand. 

CITO listening test

What should you focus on? 

• always read the question before you listen to a fragment 
• while listening to the introduction, try to think of what you already know about the subject
• while listening, decide which answer best fits the question/gap 
• keep listening until the fragment is completely over, sometimes they first say something misleading which leads you to the wrong answer 

CITO listening test

What should you focus on? 

• after listening, take a short time to finalize your answer, then focus on the next question
  
• you will only hear each fragment once, so there is no use in leaving answers open (no answer or wrong answer --> no difference!) 
• always fill in an answer, then you still have a chance it is correct; when left open it is incorrect either way
