WHAT TO DO
Before Listening
● 25-30 seconds of prep time at the
beginning of each question set
● Read instructions for questions carefully
● Look at all the questions in the question set
● Underline or circle all important keywords to which your answer connects
● Predict what form your answer should take (i.e. word, letter, number, name, place, date, noun, verb, adjective)
● Decide what you are listening for - is it specific information, main idea, speaker’s attitude, or something else?
