FCE Listening Exam Strategies and Tips
(PART 3 AND PART 4)
Part
3 .
In Part three you will hear five short clips from different
speakers on the same subject. There are eight different options and you have to
match the correct one to the speaker. Three of the options do not match any
speaker. So be wary of them!
First read the topic and look at the options and decide which
ones are most likely to fit in with the topic. This will possibly eliminate
some wrong answers
Be wary of traps. Just because the same words are mentioned
in the recording and the possible answer, does not mean it is the correct one!
Also finish listening to the extract before you note down
your answer. The correct information could be at the beginning, the middle of
the end of the recording. Finish listening before deciding and use the second
listen to check your answer.
The most important thing in most of this test is to read the
questions and options thoroughly in the time that you are given. Try to really
understand the questions and possible solutions. It can help to underline key
words too!
Part 4 .
Part four will contain a dialogue between two people (often
an interview or conversation). The last part of a listening test is always a
challenge, as you may be tired. So dig deep for one last burst of
concentration. You need to listen for the attitudes and opinions of the
speakers and listen for detailed meaning. This section usually lasts for around
three minutes and like the other parts of the listening test it is important to
listen for detractors and linking words and to understand the meaning of what
people are saying.
It is vital you read all the information provided carefully.
In part four it will tell you what the speakers are talking about. It can be
helpful to try and guess the answer before you listen to the question. Just
don’t be afraid to change your mind if the recording goes against your guess!
When practicing this part of the exam it can be helpful to not only understand
why the correct answer is right, but also to understand why the wrong answers
are incorrect.
Underline keywords in the statements and always be suspicious
if you hear the exact words in the recording that is in the answers. They are
trying to trick you!
Remember to read all the questions and information in the
test carefully. Be aware of synonyms that could be used and don’t just write
down the first answer you think you hear. Make sure you understand the meaning!
Good luck with your FCE tests! Work hard and practice and you
will succeed! Have you got any advice for fellow students about any parts of
the FCE exam? What strategies worked for you!
