In this part of the test, you’re going to have to listen to two people discussing something. The short conversation often goes by very quickly, so if you don’t listen for key words, you’re going to be in trouble. If you miss the first question, move onto the next question because if you continue glancing at the first question – questions 2, 3 will pass by and you’re lose out on all three instead of just one.
Beware of same word distractors.
