• Underline the question's keywords. Connect those keywords to what you gathered from listening to the tape. It can assist you in making the right decision.
• Go over the available possibilities, make a note of the ones that are similar to one another, and be aware of the differences between them.
• Do not choose an option based only on the words in the audio. You should consider your options and select a response because they might deceive you.

• Avoid focusing all of your attention on a single question. Once you have answered the current question, go on to the next one. This will enable you to save a significant amount of time.
• Get the listening practice questions. You should also work on your answer technique by practicing the multiple-choice questions.
• When you hear terms like "but" or "however," be cautious! It indicates that the speaker is going to modify what they just said!
