  • Um, you know, if you want to just maybe start with listening, what would you like to share about the listening?

  • Yeah.

  • Thank you.

  • So, basically, first of all kinds to you, because so, like, like started with busy studying for the exam.

  • So when a resource didn't know and you do so you're reduced.

  • Very top list in the exact address.

  • So, thanks to you, I actually listen to prior Prior candidates west, where the already interviewed with you.

  • So I also took the sentries that they had mentioned by one of your one of the interviewers are let there.

  • There is a gap off 150 seconds between each of the lake sections of the listening test so you can replace it, see the section.

  • So section three and four.

  • So basically, I also did the same thing I utilize this time seeing the section.

  • So for the Section three in four, which is usually harder as compared to the initial sections.

  • So as soon as the like clocks start started ticking.

  • So I immediately looked into these sections.

  • So looking at the section basically highlights in some of the words are suppose example there is a date or there is highlighting word in a sentence.

  • So you you can just still underline those but things.

  • Oh, they get that you do not.

  • You do not go in there, and each and every one of the other is at the end of the It's very difficult for you, like jets with authority is important for you, so you can just highlight some more important of the keywords.

  • So as soon as you are like listening so you will be a burden on the spirit.

  • The answer.

  • A czar floaters right?

  • And my new This listing test is very, very important because it's one of the other four models.

  • Oh, this, I think.

  • Listen, this is very, very scoring.

  • So one of the important papers, one of the important people have already mentioned you should as soon as these the test starts, you get about some time to look into the answer.

  • So Oh, yeah, One thing that usually interviews don't mention is there.

  • This idea's reading exam is almost England.

  • In fact, same as what we listen to the CD that I temperature reads books and living provided quest.

  • So we need not listen to the initial and understands that they that they do at the starting of the listing this so we can just tow, keep on, keep on listening about at the back of the van.

  • And we can utilize that time too.

  • Just go to the cushions on the section three in section four and basically you should be able to judge for which sections you are.

  • You find problems, and for that, we actually need a enough practice.

  • So suppose for my exam on under section Battalion, Lad Waas was showing of it was a map and the speaker waas so showing the directions on the map and we had to identify each of the support there.

  • Is that a strong suppose there was a shop, so we had to identify which off visitation here.

  • So initial initial 5 to 6 seconds missed off this list intestine.

  • For that whole section 4 to 5 questions my 4 to 5 questions.

  • Eso listing clearly listing and be attending the listing is very, very, very important for distance You even if you missed a 45 seconds off this test evil, the whole sexual go especially.

  • This has happened in my case.

  • So you should be very considerate, attentive while listening to these things.

  • Secondly, if possible, one day, which I used, Waas, the neighbor of the speaker, said, Oh, sentence.

  • And if I find Fundo who team or more than one word in a sentence, which are which can be a potential candidate stopping an answer E.

  • Justo write down all the three worlds in the.

  • Besides the caution, it's so low, but this is initially saying the things so you can just tow anticipate the answer by just judging the answer.

  • I mean off you can read the question, and you can judge it whether it's now or it should be objective.

  • It might be It might be a date also.

  • So you can under packet itself.

  • I quickly they voted that it will be a day or it will be an objective.

  • Right?

  • Something like that.

  • So you need to anticipate the answer from the starting itself, and it should be very pretty.

  • Okay, so aside, you can also start the same question and by the end of the list, invest, you get enough.

  • I mean it.

  • In a visiting you must get four days.

  • The time that you actually need becomes for the answering to go under condition.

  • Okay, You got almost Oh, next food for the answer.

  • So, like, suppose if your toe the data three answers for the same motion by the dog unless you get enough hanging like a valid ID, which off the world will be the proper answer for the questions.

  • So it sounds as though your approach was for questions that you weren't 100% sure of.

  • You wrote you wrote more than one answer.

  • And then and then and at the end, you went back.

  • And then you sort of reviewed in your mind.

  • And then you decided which answer you help us stronger?

  • Yes.

  • Okay, that's interesting, because, I mean, I haven't heard that strategy before The other ones that you had mentioned our great strategies and I think that several several people are using them at this moment.

  • But the whole idea of writing more than one answer and then reviewing in your in your mind.

  • But do you think that's that's, um, an effective approach in the sense that when you go back when you have the 10 minutes at the end, you have to try to remember what you heard.

  • I mean, do you think that that plays into the into the accuracy that you actually owe this standard?

  • She is not aways applicable.

  • It is only for the answers that you're unsure.

  • Okay, So basically, most of the questions that we listen in that are to be inserted the listing desert almost easy.

  • So these this strategy is only a pickle for source that we are like unsure.

  • So you can just quickly, very quickly here, right?

  • All the possibilities would three words and that's the end of the test.

  • You enough time to like valid ID, which will be your concern.

  • I see.

  • I didn't only for duty questions.

  • And I think more Those 2 to 3 questions were mostly mostly correct.

  • Leaving I was like the minute lacked the bus in the or directions directions spot.

  • So basically, the speaker was saying there was an area in which she was pointing out to some in the morning, out in the directions.

  • And I initially is lost some of the girls from s 045 oceans.

  • I missed that.

  • I see.

  • But I tried it.

  • But, I mean, I would have got nine.

  • But so basically you can over you can do is each of the listening listening.

  • That's 44 parts.

  • So you can be Oh, judge.

  • Prior to that, as in which of the part you are lacking, I am so there the actual distance.

  • So you can be very, very big for that.

  • That that section I see.

  • I see the node.

  • I'm curious you took several practice tests you mentioned before you engage this test where you're listening marks on the on the practice tests similar to band Aid for the interim in that area.

  • Yeah.

  • I mean, you know, in the listing pesto, I almost called band nine also most of the most of the best.

  • Private cheating on no ass test is too large, So effective.

  • I mean, I got back with the most amount, but though oh, thing was also quite difficult for me because I'm working.

  • And I usually get the time in the weekend only on Saturdays and said Right, So kissing also quite difficult for me, but I did manage my time.

  • So that better be you District for the island's exam.

  • We get the book from them and you usually get only one book from them.

  • And I got this camera also book it.

  • I guess I got so initially I saw though the book of $7 very 1st 2 days.

  • So each of the book contains food accepts and I sold from book 3456 and seven.

  • So I almost saw load before exam esto before to taking this exam.

  • Wow.
