Listening Part 1: Multiple choice

In the frst part of the listening test you'll have to face a multiple choice exercise with three options, in which you'll have to choose most appropriate one. Remember that all of the items for each question (or all of them) will be covered. And you'll have to deal with synonims, double meanings & omissions.

Here is an interesting video:

And here are some tips:
1. Read all the questions and choices/options before the listening starts.
2. If you can’t reading all the choices/options within the given reading time, at least read all the questions first.
3. Read the choices/options while you are listening, and do not read the choices/options line by line. Reading the difference between choices/options.
4. Underline key words in each choice/option. The key words are those that make the difference in meaning between choices/options.
5. Don't check your answers to the previous section; use the breaks to read ahead.
6. When listening, only look at the words you underlined. Don't read everything again.
7. Expect the trick! They often mention more than one choice/option, so be careful.
8. If you're not sure, make a good guess, and then move on to the next question.
9. If you don't have time to read everything (tip 1), don't worry. Prepare as many questions as you can, then do your best on the others.
10. Remember, all the contents are factual texts. So anything against the truth or any too absolute expression might be considered NOT true. (tip 8)
