The Listening section of the TOEFL iBT test measures your ability to understand conversations and lectures in English.
In an actual test, the Listening section is divided into two or three separately timed parts. In each part, you will listen to one conversation and one or two lectures. You will hear each conversation and lecture only one time.
After each conversation or lecture, you will answer some questions about it. Answer the questions based on what is stated or implied by the speakers.
In an actual test, a clock that is provided shows you how much time remains. The clock does not count down while you are listening. The clock counts down only while you are answering questions.
For this practice test, a useful guideline is to spend no more than 35 seconds to answer a question. You may take notes while you listen. You may use your notes to help you answer the questions. Your notes will not be scored.
In some questions, you will see this icon: This means that you will hear, but not see part of the question.
Some of the questions have special directions. These directions will appear in a gray box on the screen.
Most questions are worth one point. If a question is worth more than one point, it will have special directions that indicate how many points you can receive
You must answer each question. After you answer, select Next. Then select OK to confirm your answer and go on to the next question. After you select OK, you cannot return to previous questions.
You can select Review at any time, and the review screen will show you which questions you have answered correctly or incorrectly and which you have not answered. From this review screen, you can go directly to any question you have already seen in the Listening section.
Select Continue to go on.
Now get ready to answer the questions.
You may use your notes to help you answer.
