Level: 22

Test takers who receive a score at the HIGH level, as you did, typically understand conversations and lectures in English that present a wide range of listening demands. These demands can include difficult vocabulary (uncommon terms, or colloquial or figurative language), complex grammatical structures, abstract or complex ideas and/or making sense of unexpected or seemingly contradictory information.

YOUR PERFORMANCE

When listening to lectures and conversations like these, test takers at the HIGH level typically can:

Understand main ideas and important details, whether they are stated or implied;
Distinguish more important ideas from less important ones;
Understand how information is being used (for example, to provide evidence for a claim or describe a step in a complex process);
Recognize how pieces of information are connected (for example, in a cause-and-effect relationship);
Understand many different ways that speakers use language for purposes other than to give information (for example, to emphasize a point, express agreement or disagreement, or convey intentions indirectly);
Synthesize information, even when it is not presented in sequence, and make correct inferences on the basis of that information.

ADVICE FOR IMPROVEMENT

Further develop your listening ability with daily practice in listening in English and by challenging yourself with increasingly lengthy listening selections and more complex listening material.

Listen to different kinds of materials on a variety of topics:

Focus on topics that are new to you.
Listen to academic lectures and public talks.
Listen to audio and video material on TV, radio and the Internet.
Listen to programs with academic content, such as NOVA, BBC and NPR broadcasts.
Listen to conversations, phone calls and phone recordings.
Take live and audio-recorded tours (e.g., of museums).

Listen actively:

Take notes as you listen for main ideas and important details.
Make predictions about what you will hear next.
Summarize.
Write down new words and expressions.

For the more difficult material you have chosen to listen to, listen several times:

First listen for the main ideas and key details;
Then listen again to fill in gaps in your understanding; to understand the connections between ideas, the structure of the talk and the speakers’ attitude; and to distinguish fact from opinion.
