Strategy for Questions-Responses1. Make sure that you understand about kinds of questions, tag

questions, statements.2. Make sure that you understand the pronunciation of the

speaker; at least you know what the speaker means.3. Be careful with words that sound similar/almost similar but

have different meanings.4. Answer the questions according to the kind of the question

itself.5. Never listen to the directions given by the narrator since you

can use that time to read all the answer choices.6. Never look at the previous question since it will make you have

no time to guess what the next question is talking about.7. Make sure that you block the answer sheet columns after you

hear the questions.8. Make sure that you answer all the questions. The wrong

answer will not reduce your score.
