Multiple Choice

Strategy

1. Read the instructions carefully.
2. Read the questions and identify what is actually being asked. Highlight the keyword in the question.
3. Look at the different options and underline any keywords that help you tell the difference in meaning.
4. Think of any synonyms or paraphrases you might hear.
5. Predict the answer.
6. When listening, listen for any keywords and synonyms.
7. Don’t write the first answer you hear. They will probably talk about more than one option so wait until they have talked about them all and then answer. Be careful with answers that are given by the speaker and then taken away.
8. If you think an answer is correct, put a tick beside it and keep listening to make sure.
9. Don’t spend any more time than is necessary. If you miss an answer, make a guess and move on.
