Ninja Tips on strategy
– Always read the question and then listen for the keywords
– For more complex tracks, try taking notes on important information such as key dates and names
– Try to listen only twice. However, if you are starting out, you may listen more times to get used to the speed of the listening track
– Don’t be hasty in answering the questions, listen to the track completely to get the full picture of what is being described. Then listen a second time to get a clearer picture of what was said or to confirm your answer.
– If you are struggling to focus on the listening, take a piece of paper and write notes on the WHAT, WHO, WHERE and WHEN of the listening. This should give you a better picture of what is being spoken about.
– Understand that unless directly mentioned, there is only one correct answer! Therefore, if two answers are close, one must be stronger than the other.
– In line with the TOEFL exam you may listen before reading the question, however, make sure that you take notes of important information within the listening.
