Study guide
A listening session for N3
Listen for the reason behind a choice, especially when the speaker rules out an attractive alternative.
- Choose a test from the list, check the volume, and listen once before checking any answers. Some choices are spoken in the recording instead of printed on the page.
- Submit your choices and note the questions you missed or guessed. Replay the relevant part and listen for the words that decide the answer.
- Try that part again without pausing. If a word is unfamiliar, review its reading and meaning before returning to the audio.
