In the Listening test you hear four recordings and answer 40 questions. Each recording is played once only.
The four parts
Part 1: a conversation between two people in an everyday situation.
Part 2: a talk by one speaker about an everyday topic.
Part 3: a conversation between several people in a study or training setting.
Part 4: a talk on an academic subject, like a short lecture.
Question types
Form and note completion, multiple choice, matching, map and plan labelling, and sentence completion.
Tips
Read the questions before each recording starts.
Watch the word limit (for example, "no more than two words").
Spelling counts — practise names, numbers and dates.
Listen for signpost words such as "however" and "on the other hand".
