Paper 2 (Listening) Strategies + Practice
A good strategy prevents this from happening!
Why strategies matter
In the listening exam, you only hear each audio twice.
Without a plan, it is easy to panic or miss key details.
A clear step-by-step approach helps you catch the big picture, the important details, and even the implied meaning.
Step-by-step approach
1. Before the audio starts
Skim the questions quickly.
Underline or circle keywords (names, numbers, cause-effect words like because, however).
Predict what type of audio it could be (interview, news report, podcast).
2. First listen: gist
Focus on the overall idea: Who is speaking? Where are they? What is the topic?
Do not panic if you miss a sentence. Your goal here is the main idea.
3. Second listen: details
Go back to the questions and target specifics: numbers, reasons, contrasts, examples.
