191 Listening – Multiple choice (MC) Listening – Four-word sentence completion/Four-word answers (4W) Language in use – Word formation (WF) Language in use – Open gap fill (OGF) Language in use – Multiple choice (MC) Underline keywords in the questions to help your brain focus on the right information. You may hear keywords from all four options, but only one answer is absolutely correct. Don’t choose an option just because you hear a word from it – make sure that it means the same as your answer. While reading the task, think about what the answer could be: do you need a name, a number, a feeling, something else? This helps your brain identify the correct information while listening. Never write more than four words. Don’t worry too much about grammar, your answer only has to be clear. Read the sentences carefully to find out what kind of word (noun, verb, etc.) you need to complete the gaps. You always have to change the word in brackets; it is never correct as given. Make sure that the new word fits the gap in terms of meaning and grammar. For example, you might need a prefix to form an antonym (possible – impossible). Check your spelling carefully and look out for common mistakes (e.g. the suffix -ful is always spelt with only one l). Each gap must be filled with exactly one word. Contractions like don’t or I’m count as one word. For many gaps, there is more than one possible answer. If you can’t think of a word right away, use the structure of the sentence to guide you. For example, think about what kind of word (noun, verb, preposition, etc.) could fit. Be sure to use the right form of the word. A noun can be singular or plural, a verb might need a suffix for the third person singular or the past tense. The options can test both your vocabulary and grammar skills. The correct answer is the right word in the right form. It can be helpful to think about what word might fit before checking the options. Language in use – Banked gap fill (BGF) This task type is similar to Reading – Multiple matching (sentence parts), but you need to match single words or short phrases, so it tests your grammar and vocabulary skills more than your reading skills. As you read, think of a word that could fit, then check the words in the bank. Which one comes closest to your idea? Don’t be afraid to go back and change your answers as you go. The more correct answers you have, the easier the task will become, but early mistakes can lead to more mistakes later on. So start with the answers you feel most confident about.
