1) Read all of the questions and think about the context.
2) The options may not repeat the exact words of the text, so read each option carefully.
3) Double check to make sure if you need to search for positive or negative information. (E.g. too, enough, not and comparatives/superlatives.)
4) The words in the question will be different than the words you hear in the text. Search for synonyms and antonyms.
5) The information is in order. Answer the questions as you listen, on the second listening, check them.
6) Each question is an isolated task, students will need to consider who is speaking and how many people are speaking in each question.
