There are four distinct parts to the Listening section, each with a different focus.
The Listening section is adaptive by stage:
Part 1 – All students start with the same Pre-A1 questions.
Part 2 – Based on their performance in Part 1, students either have Pre-A1 or A1 questions.
Part 3 – Similarly, based on their performance in Part 2, students have a Listening comprehension task at Pre-A1, A1, or A2.
Part 4 – Listening comprehension tasks, at all levels, from Pre-A1 to B1.
Each audio recording is played twice in the Listening section, so students have a chance to listen again and check their answers. Each task begins with an example to demonstrate to students what they have to do.

Questions
01
Listening Part 1
In this part, a number of different images appear on the screen. Students listen to five short conversations, and in each case, identify the image that is mentioned in the conversation. Not all the images are mentioned.
Assessment
Students are assessed on their ability to understand short conversations and identify key vocabulary items mentioned in the conversations. The items that are tested will be everyday objects such as furniture, food and drink, clothing, and so on.
02
Listening Part 2
03
Listening Part 3
In this part, the task is the same at all three levels from Pre-A1 to A2 level. Students see a picture of a location such as a room, street, or shopping centre and listen to a conversation that describes the location. In each picture, five objects or parts of the picture have been removed. The things that have been removed are shown next to the the picture along with a number of objects that do not belong in the picture.
Students listen to the conversation and decide which of the missing objects belong in the picture, and where they should be placed correctly.
This listening comprehension activity tests students’ ability to understand a description of a familiar place and the location of people, places, and objects in relation to one another when mentioned in a conversation.
Assessment
Students are assessed on their ability to accurately locate key elements of a description in an image by following a conversation.
04
Listening Part 4
The listening tasks are different for each of the four levels in this final part of the test. However, in each case, the listening comprehension tasks test students’ ability to understand contextualized conversations on everyday topics and in familiar situations. The final Pre-A1 listening comprehension task involves listening to three short conversations on the same topic and matching the relevant answers mentioned to a list of six options on a chart. Each conversation may mention one or two of the options, and the options may differ in each conversation. Students have to find five correct answers in total. For example, students may have to match: activities that the speakers do to different days of the week, a set of school classes to different times on a timetable, or favorite foods to the people who like them. Students have to listen and tick the relevant options.
Assessment
Students are assessed on their ability to identify and understand the key points of factual conversations.
