Listening exams

This section gives you help and advice for all types of listening tests and exams. We explain what you can do before a listening exam and during the exam to get top marks.

Before you listen

In any listening exam there is a lot you can do to prepare yourself before the teacher plays the recording and you actually listen to the text.

While you listen

While you are listening to the text you need to concentrate 100%. This is not a time for looking out of the window or thinking about what you are going to have for lunch!

After you listen

When the listening text has stopped you may think the exam is over, but there are still things you can do to get a few more points.

Listening tasks

If you are familiar with the types of tasks that you may have to do in a listening exam, you won’t be surprised when the exam begins.
