What Is Multiple Choice, Single Answer (Listening)?
You listen to a recording and select one correct answer from a list. There is no penalty for wrong answers.
Scoring
Contributes to Listening only. 1 point for correct; 0 for incorrect.
Strategy
- Read the question and all options before the audio begins.
- While listening, actively match what you hear against the options.
- The correct answer paraphrases the audio; beware of options that repeat the exact words — they are often distractors.
- Eliminate options that contradict the recording or introduce information not mentioned.
- Always select an answer — there is no penalty.
