Test instructions

This test has four sections and a total of 40 questions. Read all instructions carefully before you begin.

  • You will have 30 minutes to complete all four sections; the audio will play only once and cannot be paused or replayed during the test.

  • Use the on-screen tools to highlight text, flag questions for review, and navigate between questions while the audio is playing.

  • Type your answers directly into the answer boxes on screen as you listen; you can review and change any answer at any time before the test timer expires.

  • Pay close attention to the word limit specified in each question, as answers exceeding the stated number of words will be marked incorrect.

  • Ensure all questions are attempted before submitting, as marks are not deducted for incorrect answers.
