1) Attempt all questions – there are no penalties for incorrect answers. Be careful to not waste time on a question that you don’t know though – guess and move on.
2) Watch out for plurals in answers. If the question requires a plural answer, a singular answer is incorrect.
3) Answers appear in the order they are heard in the audio. They come quickly or with large gaps between them.
4) Prepare to hear a potential answer that is not the actual answer. This is common when two people are making plans. They first agree on meeting at a certain time, but then one remembers that they cannot so they decide on a new time.
5) Take care transferring your answers and pay attention to the word limit for your answers!
6) Multiple choice answers will ask for a letter (a, b, c, d). Write the letter and not the corresponding answer.
7) When asked to complete a sentence using no more than two words, and the correct answer is “leather coat,” then “a coat made of leather” is incorrect. Same goes for numbers.
– Hyphenated words (like “part-time”) are considered as one word.
– A date (1990) is considered one number.
