WHAT IS THE APTIS LISTENING PART 1 LIKE? 
The Aptis Listening Test contains 17 tasks and a total of 25 different questions focusing on 
different aspects of real-life listening. 
The first part of the APTIS listening test is called: Information Recognition. It is a multiple-choice

recorded message and you will need to identify the exact information you need to answer the 
question correctly. 
For further information, please visit British Council website here.

Listen to the short tracks and answer the questions.

type of fish, but yuck! How about ordering pizza instead? Wouldn’t that be so delicious? And that 
way, you won’t have to defrost anything for dinner, like chicken.”
