Specific tips to remember while in the exam

- You will hear all 5 speakers in a row, one after the other, and this sequence will be repeated again on the second listening.
- Read answers A-F carefully before you listen.
- Read and re-read each question carefully before the listening begins. This will help you direct which aspect of the text you need to focus on.
- Pay close attention to the start and end of what each speaker says.
- The first few spoken words can indicate the answer you are looking for.
- Pay attention to what is not mentioned by the speakers.
- Once the first listening part is finished, you should know which option should be eliminated. 
- Once you have eliminated the extra option, work only with the other options.
- You will hear a ‘Buzz’ indicating the listening is being repeated a second time.
- Work with the other five options to make your answer selection. 
- Note-taking is vital in this part.
- Answer all questions. You don’t lose points for incorrect answers.
- Use one box for each answer.
- As for writing any mistakes/errors: any trace of lead from your pencil, not rubbed out completely can be traced by the correcting machines which check your answers. So rub out, as best you can, any errors!
