Tips to remember while in the exam

- 1 minute to look at questions to Part 4.

- You will hear the recording twice.

- You will hear a ‘Buzz’ indicating the listening is being repeated a second time.

- Take notes while you are listening in order to help you remember details you hear.

- Note-taking is vital in this part.

- 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!

- If two answers are present in this part, both answers will be count as zero. Rub out the one you do not want, and rub it out good!

- Don’t leave any answers in blank.

- Make a good educated guess at least!

- Answer all questions.

- You don’t lose points for incorrect answers.

The following guide/formula, paraphrased from Sherlock Holmes’ precept - Sherlock Holmes in The Sign of the Four (Doubleday p. 111) is employed in this exam part:

XY-YX-XX where X = True and Y = False

When you eliminate what you know to be untrue or not stated or half true (XY), half false (YX), whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth (XX). The questions are not necessarily about choosing the right answers but eliminating what you know to be untrue.  © 1998 kcolmanf

- When the five minute transfer time has ended, the recording will indicate same.

- Keep a close eye on your performance now and stick to what you have learnt during pre-testing.

- You will need at least 5 minutes to transfer all your answers to the answer sheet before you finish the test.
