  • 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.
