When you read, regroup the 15 tip items into three categories: before the test, during the test, and after the test. List them chronologically.
- There are a total of 40 questions presented in four sections, 10 in each section.
- Understand different types of questions presented in the test. Be prepared for what the question might ask you to do, such as complete a sentence in three words, tick a box, or choose a letter.
- Concentrate. The key skill to master here is ATTENTIVENESS. You cannot allow your concentration to falter for even a second. Do not let your mind wander.
- While listening silently, take notes in your question booklet. You can circle possible answers and change your mind later when you transfer your answers to the answer sheet.
- Use the time before each listening section to underline key words in the question such as who, where, what, etc…
- Mark your answers carefully. Write according to the instruction.
- Listen more attentively to the second statement of the speakers who correct themselves. This is usually the asked answer for the question.
- Be careful not to make simple spelling mistakes. These will be penalized.
- Incomplete or shortened answers (i.e. times and dates) will be marked as incorrect.
- A variety of accents are used including British, Australian, and American, Practice listening to different English speakers.
- Remember that answers that exceed word limits (even use of a or the) will be marked as incorrect.
- Questions are read out in order of answers, so be calm and you do not need to search up and down.
- Be highly alert. Watch out for questions that involve intentional deviations from the most obvious answer. Remember an inattentive mind may attract you to the obvious but incorrect answer.
- Don't get stuck on a single question. If you didn't hear the answer, go on.
- You will be given time to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.
