Listening Tips
The Listening section evaluates your ability to understand spoken English in a variety of contexts. It can be tricky due to various accents and fast speech, but the following strategies can help:
Key Tips:
- Preview the Questions: Before the recording starts, read through the questions to get an idea of what you're listening for.
- Focus on Keywords: Listen for keywords and phrases that match the questions. You don’t need to catch every word, but you must catch the key information.
- Use Context Clues: If you miss a word, try to understand the context to predict the missing information.
- Stay Focused: Listening tasks often include distractions (e.g., people talking over each other). Keep your focus on the speaker and the main idea.
- Practice with Different Accents: The listening exam features speakers with different accents (e.g., British, Australian, North American). Regular practice with various accents can improve your listening comprehension.
