Copy answers smartly
After 20 minutes of Listening test, there are 10 additional minutes. During the test you have written all of the answers in the Listening test booklet. These 10 minutes are given you to copy your answers to the Answering sheet, and you should use them smartly.
The Answer Sheet has 2 sides, one for Reading test and one for Listening test, so make sure you are writing on the Listening side. I include here an example of Answering Sheet so you could get familiar with it and use it for practicing. First, copy all the answers from the booklet to the Answering Sheet, and pay attention
to the following guidelines (as simple as they sound – they are BIG time savers):
• For multiple-choice questions and picking pictures - just copy the letter of correct answer, don't circle it.
• For sentence completion – just copy your answer, not the whole sentence.
• For True/False/Not given question – just copy T, F or NG, whatever your choice is.
• For gap-fills – just copy the word you have chosen for the gap.
• For answers written in short (like prof. advise) – write the full version (professional advise).
• Check that all the answers are clear and understandable.
Now, if you missed some questions – it is a good time to guess.
Practice, practice, practice!
I strongly recommend that you use all the tips while practicing.
Play the Listening samples and start using the tips while searching for answers. This
is the only way to really understand how these tips work. You may have to play the
same Listening file more than once, to practice in different techniques.
