PART A: Dialogues. These are brief conversations between at least two people. Sometimes each speakers speaks only once, and sometimes one or both of the speakers speak more than once. After the coversation, you're asked question, and you click the most appropriate answer choice. You must answer between 11 and 17 questions in this section.

Each conversation or talk is spoken only one time; you can't repair it. Several questions are asked each, and you must click the most appropriate answer choice for each question.

You will hear two or three conversations in this section; each lasts less than one minute. After each conversation, you answer two or more questions. You will also hear for to six short lectures( approximately 2.5 minutes each) and academic discussions (2 minutes or less each). There are generally three to seven questions for each short lecture and academic discussion.
