This section gives you help and advice for all types of listening tests and exams. We explain what you can do before a listening exam and during the exam to get top marks.
In any listening exam there is a lot you can do to prepare yourself before the teacher plays the recording and you actually listen to the text.
While you are listening to the text you need to concentrate 100%. This is not a time for looking out of the window or thinking about what you are going to have for lunch!
When the listening text has stopped you may think the exam is over, but there are still things you can do to get a few more points.
If you are familiar with the types of tasks that you may have to do in a listening exam, you won’t be surprised when the exam begins.
