!!! Anyone who writes “just in case” – 

watermelon, mango, peaches, grapes – receives 0 score for that question. 

 

Note: when counting words – “a” or “the” counts as a word. 

 

Divide and concur! 

 

The recording divides questions into 

groups, 

so every time you are instructed to 

answer a group of 4-5 questions. There are 20-30 seconds of silence before each 

group. 

 

First thing you should do when the tape starts playing, is understand which group of 

questions you need to answer.  

 

For example the tape says: “Look at questions one to four”. It means that you have 

about 20 seconds to look at those questions. Go over questions, read them and 

underline keywords. Keywords are words that contain the main idea of the question. 

They will help you guess what you will hear – numbers, opening hours, names, 

locations, etc.  

 

Draw a line under question four, so you won’t look further before it’s time.  

 

Then you will hear a piece of passage and answer the questions one to four
