Test tips
1- Take notes of the main points and supporting details
In the 7 seconds before the recording begins, read the question and get ready to take notes to help you answer. Taking notes is likely to be more helpful than trying to select options while you listen because you may not hear the information in exactly the same order as the options.
Note down details (e.g., times, places, things that happened) as well as the main points, because you will need to select more than one option:
2- Select for meaning, not just to match the words you hear
Select the options that best match the meaning of what you have heard. Don’t just choose an option because it has the same words or phrases as the recording. Several options may use words from the recording but may not match the meaning of what you have heard.
3- How this question is scored
Your response for Multiple-choice, Choose Multiple Answers is judged on your ability to analyze, interpret and evaluate a brief audio or video recording on an academic subject. If all response options are correct, you receive the maximum score points for this question type. If one or more response options are incorrect, partial credit scoring applies.
