1
00:00:03,930 --> 00:00:04,320
All right.

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:10,800
So the date is April 25th, and this is a live listening class for the exam.

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:19,230
This live listening class covers the general and the academic exams because as you know, the general

4
00:00:19,230 --> 00:00:22,380
and academic exams cover the exact same material.

5
00:00:23,930 --> 00:00:28,520
As I stated in the announcement.

6
00:00:30,020 --> 00:00:33,680
This is going to be from Cambridge, book number 13.

7
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,600
And I'm going through test number two.

8
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,760
And and if you have any questions during the class, please.

9
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:48,120
If you have any questions during the class, please keep your questions or type your questions in the

10
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,080
chat box.

11
00:00:49,410 --> 00:00:52,980
And also, please keep your microphone on mute.

12
00:00:53,580 --> 00:00:55,860
Keep your microphone on mute.

13
00:00:56,310 --> 00:00:56,760
All right.

14
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:03,210
Because if you do that, I can have a really clean recording and I can upload the I can upload it into

15
00:01:03,210 --> 00:01:03,780
the class.

16
00:01:03,780 --> 00:01:11,550
If you cannot keep your microphone on mute, then I will be forced to remove you from the class because

17
00:01:11,550 --> 00:01:15,870
that is a disturbance and a distraction and you have to be able to control that.

18
00:01:16,590 --> 00:01:16,890
All right.

19
00:01:16,890 --> 00:01:20,850
So I'm going to go through just a little bit of brief information and then we're going to get directly

20
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,690
into the into the listening.

21
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:27,690
The way it's going to work is I'm going to play it.

22
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:33,470
I'm going to be going through answering and then I'll be reviewing the answer choices.

23
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:42,780
I'll be going over the different types of tricks or the different types of traps that they are using

24
00:01:42,810 --> 00:01:44,240
to disguise or high.

25
00:01:44,250 --> 00:01:50,310
Where they answer is because a lot of students are not clear that the listening for dials is just not

26
00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:51,630
is not direct.

27
00:01:52,630 --> 00:01:52,900
Right.

28
00:01:52,930 --> 00:01:56,920
There are certain things that they're doing to hide or disguise when the answers are, say it.

29
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,780
And once you know that and you know how to spot that, then normally you'll be okay.

30
00:02:02,020 --> 00:02:04,270
And so that's really, really important to understand.

31
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:06,170
All right.

32
00:02:06,170 --> 00:02:07,970
So let's go ahead and get started.

33
00:02:11,050 --> 00:02:15,700
As you know, for the listening, there are different question types.

34
00:02:16,090 --> 00:02:18,640
You, of course, have your field to blame traditional questions.

35
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:21,220
You have map questions, you have a table question.

36
00:02:21,550 --> 00:02:28,180
We have a matching multiple choice question or you have different types of questions that you have to

37
00:02:28,180 --> 00:02:28,750
do.

38
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:34,630
And in the course, I cover all these different types of questions.

39
00:02:37,170 --> 00:02:39,360
Um, in section number one.

40
00:02:39,690 --> 00:02:42,450
Section number one is the easiest section.

41
00:02:43,410 --> 00:02:45,330
It's very, very direct.

42
00:02:45,570 --> 00:02:48,870
They still try to trick you and fool you in section number one.

43
00:02:48,870 --> 00:02:52,890
But when you're when you're dealing with section number one, your goal should be in section number

44
00:02:52,890 --> 00:02:54,750
one to really get none wrong.

45
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:56,210
Maximum.

46
00:02:56,210 --> 00:03:02,310
Just get one wrong in section number one because you have to if you're planning on getting a score over

47
00:03:02,310 --> 00:03:04,970
a seven, that's what I'm talking about.

48
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:13,920
In Section number two, it gets progressively a little bit more difficult in section number two, a

49
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:16,110
little bit more difficult in section number two.

50
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:17,430
Right.

51
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,110
Everyone, please keep your microphone mute.

52
00:03:22,260 --> 00:03:25,980
It's a very simple request to keep your microphone mute.

53
00:03:28,820 --> 00:03:29,450
All right.

54
00:03:29,450 --> 00:03:31,550
And now in section number three.

55
00:03:31,550 --> 00:03:38,840
Now, when the Section one and two are almost the same difficulty level, when you get to section number

56
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,910
three, that's when you make the big jump.

57
00:03:41,730 --> 00:03:46,200
And when I say you make the big jump, the question types don't change.

58
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:47,400
It still filled.

59
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,500
The blank is still multiple choice.

60
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:52,020
The question types don't change.

61
00:03:52,470 --> 00:03:55,830
What changes is the length of the question?

62
00:03:56,430 --> 00:04:02,130
The length of the question in terms of how many words are in the question and the length of the answer

63
00:04:02,130 --> 00:04:02,970
choices.

64
00:04:03,180 --> 00:04:07,080
Also, the worries that you have to be able to spell become more difficult.

65
00:04:08,470 --> 00:04:14,980
And then, of course, when you get to section number four, again, question type doesn't change.

66
00:04:15,370 --> 00:04:20,020
Primarily, section number four is a field of blank question.

67
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:26,230
However, you can see you can see multiple choice questions in Section four also.

68
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:32,740
And if you're doing the if you're doing the listening to the lectures within the course, you'll see

69
00:04:32,740 --> 00:04:36,700
within Section four, there are different question types that you can encounter.

70
00:04:36,910 --> 00:04:40,870
But I would say probably the majority of the time is going to be filled the blank.

71
00:04:41,590 --> 00:04:45,820
Now for most students, they handle sections one and two fairly well.

72
00:04:46,420 --> 00:04:49,660
Section three, they handle okay.

73
00:04:49,780 --> 00:04:54,250
Normally a Section three or four, which is what really determines your score.

74
00:04:55,470 --> 00:04:58,470
Section three or four really, really determines your score.

75
00:04:58,830 --> 00:05:05,910
And and so if you really are trying to practice and get better, you want to try your best to master

76
00:05:05,910 --> 00:05:07,230
sections three and four.

77
00:05:09,430 --> 00:05:09,730
All right.

78
00:05:09,730 --> 00:05:11,470
So we have these different question types.

79
00:05:11,470 --> 00:05:13,510
I'm going to run through this really, really quickly.

80
00:05:15,310 --> 00:05:15,730
Right.

81
00:05:15,730 --> 00:05:18,790
This is the traditional field of question type.

82
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,520
You also have a map kind of question.

83
00:05:25,260 --> 00:05:25,710
Right.

84
00:05:25,710 --> 00:05:30,030
And with map questions, they are they're fairly straightforward, but you have to really know your

85
00:05:30,030 --> 00:05:31,560
directional language.

86
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:39,240
Left, right, northeast, around the bend, in the corner, you have to know your directional language

87
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,680
very well for that type of field.

88
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:41,730
The blank question.

89
00:05:42,630 --> 00:05:45,240
And then you have your multiple choice question types.

90
00:05:47,980 --> 00:05:56,170
You have your standard multiple choice question, ABC and this question type can appear in all sections

91
00:05:56,170 --> 00:05:58,060
section one, two, three and four.

92
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:07,070
You also have this type of multiple choice question where you have to pick two answer choices.

93
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:09,200
You have the big two answer choices.

94
00:06:09,290 --> 00:06:15,790
And it doesn't matter if it's ANC, if, if, for example, if the answers are ANC, it doesn't matter

95
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:16,610
on your answer sheet.

96
00:06:16,620 --> 00:06:19,850
If you put A then C or C, then eh, it doesn't matter.

97
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:28,550
And then finally you have this type of multiple choice question where you have multiple choice selections

98
00:06:28,550 --> 00:06:35,600
in a box and you have the questions below and you have to choose A, B or C as the match for that for

99
00:06:35,630 --> 00:06:36,920
that particular question.

100
00:06:38,610 --> 00:06:39,120
Right.

101
00:06:39,670 --> 00:06:40,150
Okay.

102
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:48,260
So coming up next, we're going to go ahead and get into Cambridge Isle to book number 13.

103
00:06:48,620 --> 00:06:51,860
I'll be going through test number two in the listening part.

104
00:06:52,850 --> 00:06:56,040
I'm going to try to get through most of it.

105
00:06:56,060 --> 00:06:58,100
I'm going to try to get through most of it.

106
00:06:59,180 --> 00:07:03,020
Hopefully I can within the time constrictions that I have to deal with.

107
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,850
I'm going to try to get through most of it.

108
00:07:05,850 --> 00:07:12,150
It depends on how many questions there are afterwards and things like that that determines how much

109
00:07:12,150 --> 00:07:13,380
I can get through.

110
00:07:14,370 --> 00:07:14,640
All right.

111
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:19,260
Now, before I go on to the next thing, does anyone have any questions at all?

112
00:07:20,370 --> 00:07:23,460
If you have a question, type it in the chat box.

113
00:07:23,460 --> 00:07:27,390
And I will try to answer your question right now before we get started.

114
00:07:31,610 --> 00:07:32,180
Okay.

115
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,180
All right, I have one question.

116
00:07:37,220 --> 00:07:37,960
Let's see.

117
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:40,810
Sir.

118
00:07:40,810 --> 00:07:42,370
The time duration.

119
00:07:42,370 --> 00:07:44,020
The time duration for what?

120
00:07:45,490 --> 00:07:48,030
Shashank, your question is vague.

121
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,930
The time duration for this class.

122
00:07:51,340 --> 00:07:55,180
This class is limited to a two hour, a two hour time limit.

123
00:07:55,510 --> 00:07:57,850
I should be able to finish up before then.

124
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:07,850
But like I said, it depends on how many questions people have afterwards and things like that.

125
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,250
How about how fast I can move through it?

126
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,050
But that should be enough time for me to get through it all.

127
00:08:16,010 --> 00:08:16,580
Okay.

128
00:08:17,270 --> 00:08:17,570
All right.

129
00:08:17,570 --> 00:08:18,920
Any other questions?

130
00:08:23,470 --> 00:08:24,070
Yeah.

131
00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:30,730
The multiple choice questions and the map questions are, well, I think the multiple choice question

132
00:08:30,730 --> 00:08:36,220
is difficult because a lot of students don't really know how to do it and they answer the question wrong.

133
00:08:36,220 --> 00:08:41,890
Hopefully after this class today, you have a little bit better understanding of how to really do a

134
00:08:41,890 --> 00:08:43,330
multiple choice question.

135
00:08:43,690 --> 00:08:46,450
MAB questions is really deal with directions.

136
00:08:47,210 --> 00:08:51,920
Really they with directions and if you practice it enough time.

137
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:57,140
I have a lot of examples of doing math questions in the course and the Udemy course, and it really

138
00:08:57,140 --> 00:09:00,860
just takes practice with doing that.

139
00:09:01,740 --> 00:09:02,230
Okay.

140
00:09:02,250 --> 00:09:02,520
All right.

141
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:03,990
So let's go ahead and get started.

142
00:09:14,070 --> 00:09:22,830
Omar Jamal is saying, I think there is no there is enough time to to go through the pulling out the

143
00:09:22,830 --> 00:09:26,220
key words in part number three, a part number four, there is enough time.

144
00:09:26,980 --> 00:09:27,520
Right.

145
00:09:28,690 --> 00:09:33,190
And I know there's enough time because there are a lot of students that I teach that get scores of eight

146
00:09:33,190 --> 00:09:36,070
and nine and they're listening and they're able to do it.

147
00:09:36,070 --> 00:09:37,400
So there's enough time.

148
00:09:37,420 --> 00:09:43,690
Whether or not whether or not you're able to do something very often depends on your English ability.

149
00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:47,670
And that's just and that's just an honest statement that I'm making.

150
00:09:49,060 --> 00:09:49,560
Right.

151
00:09:49,570 --> 00:09:54,760
Very often you're because really what you're talking about is I can't process the English fast enough.

152
00:09:56,450 --> 00:09:56,620
Right.

153
00:09:56,750 --> 00:09:59,060
I can't process the English fast enough.

154
00:10:00,210 --> 00:10:03,330
And you have to be able to process English fast enough.

155
00:10:03,330 --> 00:10:04,530
One more question.

156
00:10:04,860 --> 00:10:08,520
Yes, the answers have to be exactly how they say that.

157
00:10:08,820 --> 00:10:10,800
You know, you can't you can't.

158
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,600
I get asked this question all the time.

159
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,740
What if what if I the answer is singular and I write the answer is plural.

160
00:10:16,740 --> 00:10:17,580
Is it wrong?

161
00:10:17,790 --> 00:10:23,550
Yes is going to be wrong because there are very few there are very few exceptions where the answer can

162
00:10:23,550 --> 00:10:25,080
be singular and plural.

163
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,870
It depends on the grammatical structure of the question.

164
00:10:28,140 --> 00:10:31,830
So if you don't put exactly the right thing, then your answer is going to be wrong.

165
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:34,620
Farouk.

166
00:10:34,630 --> 00:10:39,040
Yes, you could write the answers in all caps on the computer based test.

167
00:10:40,450 --> 00:10:41,530
It doesn't matter.

168
00:10:42,070 --> 00:10:44,470
All caps, all small, doesn't matter.

169
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:46,570
All right.

170
00:10:46,570 --> 00:10:50,830
So, everybody, I'm going to be starting with section number one.

171
