Top 5 approved listening tips

* All the beginning of each section read the questions for that section carefully, before the recording starts. This will help you to follow the recording and identify the answers.
* After completing a section, it is better to look ahead and read the questions for the next section then to worry about the last section.
* You will sometimes have a list of options to choose from as answers. The possible answers may be listed in alphabetical order and not necessarily in the order you will hear them.
* Be careful to note word limits. If there is an instruction: Write no more than two words’, writing ,more than two words will mean OU WILL RECEIVE NO MARKIS AT All FOR YOUR ANSWER, EVEN IF SOME OF THE WORDS WERE CORRECT.
* Try to listen for key words or synonyms (words that have the same or nearly the same or nearly the same meaning as another word) from the question to help you identify the answer. For example, in the recording you might hear; she likes going to the gym and playing tennis. On your answer sheet, this could appear as she is an active person”.
