  1. How the Listening test works35 minEach part in turn, and the answer rules on spelling, word limits, numbers and dates that stop correct answers being marked wrong.
  2. Predict before you listen45 minA fast routine for the reading time before each part: predict the type of answer, expect paraphrase, follow signposts, then use it on an original Part 2-style talk.
  3. Forms, notes and spelling50 minCatch names spelt letter by letter, numbers, dates, postcodes and last-second corrections, then use the method on an original Part 1-style booking form.
  4. Multiple choice and distractors55 minSee how Listening multiple-choice traps are built, learn a step-by-step method to follow speakers to their final answer, then use it on a full Part 3-style tutorial.
  5. Maps, plans and directions50 minLearn the language of position and direction, a five-step method for following a speaker round a plan and five common map traps, then practise on an original site tour and a directions conversation.
  6. Listening practice: lecture and conversation60 minTwo original practice tasks, a Part 1-style phone call and a Part 4-style lecture, plus a four-pass method that turns every recording into real listening progress.
