Listening & reading: the strategy

Three habits collect the receptive points:

• read the questions before the text or audio
• answer while you listen — and if the task is played twice, check on the second listening
• answer every multiple-choice question with one choice — wrong answers cost nothing

Not every task comes twice: Goethe Hören Teil 2 and ÖSD Hören Aufgabe 1 and 3 are played once. There, read ahead and mark your answer during the single playback.

And watch the numbers: times, prices, dates and Gleis numbers come up again and again in Hören.
