This episode is all about improving your overall listening score.

I give an overview of the parts of the listening test, important information you need to know, what to expect and ways that you can prepare for the listening exam.

I suggest different podcasts such as my own, The History of English Podcast, Lingthusiasm and Lexitecture, in order to get exposure to different accents and language learning at the same time. I recommend science podcasts to get exposure to the topics and particular features such as numbers and measurements that you are likely to get in the exam.

I also emphasise the importance of being aware of homophones and minimal pairs, as these are frequently used in exams to trick students.

Listen to my other podcast for improving your general English, especially Australian English, and get exposure to topics that will come up in your exams:
