Test tips
1- Focus on the kind of information you need
For listening multiple-choice questions, the main part of the question tells you what to listen for. Being aware of the focus of the question will help guide your listening.
For example, it will tell you whether you are listening for the main idea: What was the main cause of the company’s collapse?
Or listening for some supporting information or details: What aspect of past transport policy does the speaker mention?
Or listening for an inference drawn by the speaker: What does the speaker suggest that the factory may have to do?
Or listening for the speaker’s purpose: Why does the speaker talk about the fall in car ownership?
2- Skim the question and answer options before you listen to understand the topic
In the 5 seconds before the recording begins, quickly read the question and answer options to make sure you understand the topic.
For example, in the sample, the question shows that the speaker will talk about the future, and the options show you they all include the word ‘media’. So you are listening to hear what the speaker thinks will happen to the media in the future.
