some tips i got for the listenin exam all this can be done in a day so dnt wrry.
this is what i do b4 my listenin exam.
1)switch on tv watch CNN
2)switch radio before u sleep and litsen to BBC
3)practice on the site www.esl-lab.com
4) and my most favourite LITSEN TO HARD METAL MUSIC (not the ones with shouting)-works for me lol
while exam:
!) MOST IMPORTANT, VERY IMPORTANT: NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER GET NERVOUS. if u do try hard to concentrate or go home. cuz u can concentrate well when hear the tape as u r nervous.
2) look down on ure paper or dont look around or at other people cuz u get distracted and u miss answers
3) before tape starts write in the subjects for example:
-where did jimmy go?
ANs: Jimmy went----------(write "jimmy went" and leave it like tht untill u hear the answer then complete ure answer.)
And while DOING THT go thru the questions as answers my be called out earlier before the question comes.
4) be sure to hear tht lady who talks at start and prsents the talker. tht lady who says :"look atquestions 1 to 6 and bla bla-- till she says we hav our talker today mr jimmy ....etc) listen to her she also calls out the answer.
and i think thts all i can say.
gud luck and most importantly relax.

very well said SHOGUN...
speciall this part..."before tape starts write in the subjects for example:-where did jimmy go?".......

lol cuz i started doin tht when my teacher told me tht sentence construction in listening exam also matters

well~ i dont really know about the eng listening but since we all speak english, i think it will be fine
wot i did for my french listening was the same, lolz
like they asked, why did paul.....
before the thing i first wrote; because
and be attentive even on the questions cuz the ans could be in the question
well~ it doesnt really make sense but this is wot happened in the french listening i did 2day
