2 TIPS on solving Listening Comprehension Questions in Online Tests

Looking for Questions instead of tips? - You can directly jump to English Listening Comprehension Test Questions

Tip 1: Ensure that you are well prepared to take the Listening Comprehension Test

Ensure that your audio setup is proper:

1.    Your headphones work well and you’re able to hear loud and clear

2.    Your System Volume setting is set to the Maximum Value

3.    Please use the latest version of Chrome to ensure full browser support for playing audio clips.

Keep a notebook handy:

1.    Jot down quick bullet points about the audio clip as you’re listening to it. This will help you remember the clip easily so that you will not waste time replaying it multiple times.


Are you engaged in a Job Search? - You can get your Resume/ CV reviewed for free and then apply for jobs/ internships.

Tip 2: Read the Question first before listening to the clip


Questions can be related to a specific piece of information available in the audio clip:

1.    “Where is the stadium?”

2.    “Who has sponsored the news report?”

3.    “How many people are there in the speaker’s family?”

For the illustrative questions given above, you need to listen to the clip until the specific piece of information you’re looking for is spoken out aloud.

Questions can be contextual, related to the audio clip as a whole:

1.    “What is the purpose of the speaker?”

2.    “What is the speaker’s profession?”

3.    “Where is this conversation taking place?”

For the illustrative questions given above, you need to listen to the whole clip to understand the context of the speech.
