Control Strategies Especially in The TOEFL Listening

1.      Turn the cassette contains the TOEFL Test Model I Section I. Work on the questions in Section I as usual our regular TOEFL exam. Once completed, the match with the key. If any, mark where the correct answer. Then, cassette were heard again from the beginning of a number problem without seeing the script Listening first. Repeat back to listen if you have not been able to identify the spoken sounds and do not know which answer is correct. At the outset, in a difficult matter, perhaps you need to repeat up to 6 times  number before the matter can be properly identified. So, you do not repeat it at once, but number matter. Of course, it's better if you have a tape player that enables you to me without having to rewind the tape to stop the advance. Then, answer the questions posed. After that, check that you deem appropriate sentence based on "hearing" you had a sentence on the Listening Script. If you've listened to over and over again but you have not been able to identify the voices that say or do not know which answer is correct, then you are forced to open the Script Listening and attention only on the number of that alone. Open a dictionary if necessary.
Do this until the whole matter is finished. When I first do it, you can spend no less than three hours to repeat only one side of the cassette. After that will be drastically reduced to 1 hour just because you've increased capacity.

2.      Do not be fooled match between what you hear the sound (audio) with which you read (booklet). Sometimes the right answer just a different sound (but it means the same).

3.      Do not listen before reading. Read the first and CRUSH anticipatory response. Furthermore listen to confirm the answer. (Do not listen to the EMPTY HEAD!)

4.      Form (sound) that differ among the four answer choices, usually can be taken as a TEMPORARY ANSWER.

5.      The words in the booklet are usually used to mislead, as the words were tested, so you're stuck in the sound to match. Example, the word DOOR / Drawer, said WRITE / RIGHT, word did not / would not / should not

6.      Beware of the words 'NEGATIVE' as absent (not present) on a matter, the word did not COME (not present) from the audio device, as well as with the sentence ACTIVE - PASSIVE.

7.      In part B (Dialog TWO) is overlaid Narrator, focus on the SECOND PERSON. Feed only the first, third person (the narrator) just ask the purpose of conversation.

8.      In part C (Conversation, TWO or MORE), make anticipate questions with 5W and 1H (WHAT, WHEN, WHY, WHO, WHERE, and HOW).

9.   Exploration of the key words of each alternative answer. Example, when writing AT A RESTAURANT, maybe you'll hear the word MENU, ORDER, FOOD, BEVERAGE, SPOON, WAITER, and so forth.
