Study guide

A listening session for N4

Track the order of actions and any change to the original plan.

  1. 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.
  2. Submit your choices and note the questions you missed or guessed. Replay the relevant part and listen for the words that decide the answer.
  3. Try that part again without pausing. If a word is unfamiliar, review its reading and meaning before returning to the audio.

About this material

These pages provide exam audio and answers. They do not provide a full transcript or an explanation for every listening answer. Replaying is useful for study; a first uninterrupted attempt gives a better picture of your current listening.
