What you need

Steps

  1. Set up a quiet space and put on headphones. Close other tabs and silence your phone so each recording plays without interruption, like on test day.

  2. Number your paper 1 to 18 for Module 1 and 1 to 16 for Module 2. Keep the two lists separate so you can score each module on its own.

  3. Start Module 1 at the instructions and answer the eight Choose the Best Response questions. Pick your answer before the timer runs out.

  4. Continue with the two Module 1 conversations, the music rehearsal announcement and the art history talk. Write one answer per question and do not replay.

  5. Pause after the last Module 1 question and take a short break. Then start Module 2 and repeat the same single-play routine for its 16 questions.

  6. Finish the Module 2 conversation, fire alarm announcement and decoy effect talk. Keep to one listen per recording even if you feel unsure.

  7. Check Module 1 against the answer key and mark each question right or wrong. Note the task type of every miss, such as conversation or academic talk.

  8. Check Module 2 the same way and add up your score out of 34. Write down the two task types where you lost the most marks.

  9. Replay only the sections you got wrong and listen for the phrase that signals the answer. Then redo those questions without looking at the key.

Tips and common mistakes

Resist pausing or replaying during the test, because the real exam plays each recording once.

Read the question stems before the audio starts so you know what to listen for.

Write short notes on key words and numbers instead of full sentences.

Do one module per sitting if you lose focus, then combine both later.

Questions

How long does the full practice test take?

The video runs about 16 minutes, and with checking and review you should allow around 20 to 25 minutes.

Can I replay a recording if I miss an answer?

Not during the test. Play each recording once, then use the answer key and replay only the sections you got wrong.

What score should I aim for?

There is no fixed pass mark here. Track your score out of 34 across attempts and aim to raise it each time.
