 Tips for a listening test

1. Before you listen, read the rubric (instructions) and think about who the speakers are,
where they are, and what they might talk about.
2. Look at the questions and notice any key words, e.g. names, places, numbers, verbs.
3. Listen for the key words in the questions, or for synonyms of those key words.
"Synonyms" are words with the same, or similar, meaning.
4. Choose what you think is the correct answer on your first listen.
5. Be careful of "distractors" – information you think answers your question, but is wrong.
6. If you can't answer a question, don't worry about it. Concentrate on the next question.
7. Have a second listen to check your original answers again and decide if you want to
change any of them. Answer any questions you missed at the first listen.

Tips for a reading test

1. Read the title (if there is one) and predict what the text might be about.
2. Quickly read the text to get a general idea of what it is about. Look carefully at the first
sentence of each paragraph. Don't spend very long doing this.
3. Look at the questions and notice any key words, e.g. names, places, numbers, verbs.
4. Scan the text for the key words in the questions, or for synonyms of these key words.
Then read that part of the text carefully to find the answer. "Scan" means read quickly to
find information. "Synonyms" are words with the same, or similar, meaning.
5. Be careful of "distractors" – information you think answers your question, but is wrong.
6. If there are multiple choice (A, B, C) questions, decide if any options are obviously
wrong and forget about those. Concentrate on the answers that might be correct.
