Conditions

Four things that are true of the real test, and therefore true here.

Audio

Recordings play once, exactly as in the real test. Headphones, and a room where you can speak out loud.

Clocks

The clock runs per section and does not pause. Set aside 162 minutes end to end.

Paper

Keep paper and a pen beside you. Listening is close to unmanageable without notes.

Scoring

Four section bands and an overall band, against the same descriptors examiners use.
