Preparation tips

  1. 01

    Read the questions before the audio starts and underline the key words.

  2. 02

    Watch the word limit: with «ONE WORD AND/OR A NUMBER», an extra word is wrong.

  3. 03

    Spelling counts: a word you heard right but spelled wrong scores nothing.

  4. 04

    When a speaker corrects themselves (“actually”, “sorry, I mean”), the last answer is the right one.

  5. 05

    Use the question-type breakdown on your result to find the type you miss most - and practise that.

More practice, a stronger score.
