Listening
TIPS for listening
Read the instructions carefully before you start each section.
Read the questions before you listen and underline the main words. You will hear the audio twice.
Listen! The more English you listen to the better your will do. Listen to the radio, English language TV, podcasts...
• Check that you can hear the test properly. If you can’t hear the recording, raise your hand immediately.
• You will hear each recording twice.
• Your centre will tell you whether you can use headphones for the Listening paper.
• Use any pauses to read the instructions and the questions. Read the instructions carefully.
• Try to answer the questions the first time you listen, then use the second listening to check your answers and to fill in any answers that you didn’t hear the first time.
• Answer all the questions, even if you’re not sure. Always choose an answer for each multiple-choice question.
• Don’t worry if you make a spelling mistake, unless the word is very common e.g. Monday, or if the spelling of the word is dictated in the recording.
