- Including listening time (passages and listening again for specific questions), each set is about 30 minutes

Listening Question Types:
- main idea (content or purpose) (This is also sometimes called “gist”.)
- function (Listen again. Why does the speaker say this?)
- purpose (Why does the speaker mention ____?)
- attitude (How does the speaker feel about ___?)
- inference (What does the professor imply about ___?)
- detail (similar to fact questions about reading)
- prediction (What will the speaker probably do next?)

Listening Simulation Test - Final Test 1 listening section (computer lab)
Take 1 hour to listen to the passages and answer the questions. Remember that once you click “next”, you cannot go back and change the answer to the current question.
---
When you are finished, write down the number of correct answers you received (not the percent).
Then you can review your test one answer at a time.
Make a note of how many you got correct and incorrect of each question type.
