- Zero careless errors in Listening answersAt this level you hear nearly every answer; marks slip away in how they are written. Lock down word limits, plurals, spelling, capitals, numbers and dates.
- Fast connected speech and unfamiliar accentsFast speech links words, shrinks small ones and drops sounds, and the test uses speakers with a range of accents. Learn the features, then hear them in short extracts.
- A demanding Part 4 lecture: notes under pressureA dense Part 4 lecture, followed with the tools strong listeners use: the opening plan, signposts, corrections and paraphrased note headings.
- Hearing attitude and purpose in tone and word choiceSpeakers rarely state their attitude outright. Read doubt, objection, agreement, caution, irony and purpose from the words they choose.
- The final routine: checking and transferring Listening answersThe last minutes decide whether every answer reaches the marker. A routine for transferring on paper and checking on computer, slip by slip.
