Three common mistakes
- 1Listening for the answer before reading the statements. With one play, the reading has to happen in the pause before each Teil.
- 2Marking Richtig when a statement repeats words from the audio. B2 statements paraphrase and often flip one detail.
- 3Losing two items while hesitating over one. Decide, mark, move on. There is no replay to fall back on.
