There are eight short recordings with one multiple choice question to answer.

The recording could be a monologue-1 person speaking or a dialogue-2 people talking. Each question is 1 point.

This part of the listening test checks to see if you able understand what a speaker’s purpose or opinion is.

For example, is the woman happy, sad, or angry? Does the customer want to complain or buy something?

Additionally, a question could be about understanding the gist of a speech or recognizing a detail.

The best technique to do the exam is "paraphrasing", this means thinking of possible synonyms and antonyms.

While you are listening you need to take notes of the possible answers.

After the recording finishes you should mark your definitive answers.

It is better to guess, even if you are not 100% sure, NEVER LEAVE ANSWERS IN BLANK.

1.Read all the questions and multiple options.

2.Write what are the ideas you need to focus.

Example: You hear a woman telling a friend about a conversation she had with her parents. How did her parents feel about her news? = I will expect to hear descriptions of emotions then.

3.Scan the multiple options and spot the emotions they give you.

Example for the question mentioned above:

A furious that she wouldn't complete her studies.

B astonished that she hadn't consulted them.

C pleased that she'd made a good decision.

4.You know you won’t hear the answer in exactly the same words as in the question, so in your mind think of synonym words or similar ideas for these words (paraphrasing).

Examples:

furious (fed up, angry, upset)

astonished (surprised, amazed, didn't expect)

pleased (delighted, happy, excited)

5.Don't forget to be careful with distractors, these are the words the test designers include to make sure you are not just choosing an option as soon as you hear that word in the listening.

6.Stick to your plan, you have to listen carefully for meaning, for the idea they are asking.

7.After listening, you will identify the correct answer is being paraphrased, choose the idea that best answers the question.
