Preparation tips
- 01
Read the questions before the audio starts and underline the key words.
- 02
Watch the word limit: with «ONE WORD AND/OR A NUMBER», an extra word is wrong.
- 03
Spelling counts: a word you heard right but spelled wrong scores nothing.
- 04
When a speaker corrects themselves (“actually”, “sorry, I mean”), the last answer is the right one.
- 05
Use the question-type breakdown on your result to find the type you miss most - and practise that.
More practice, a stronger score.
