Discourse Types
Section 1: Usually a conversation between two people on general, everyday topic. In two parts, first you are given some time to look at the questions for section 1. Then you will hear an example where you will listen to the correct answer. Then the listening is played (including the example). Approx 4 minutes. You will get around 45 seconds (in two parts) to look at the questions.
Section 2: Usually a monologue (only one speaker) of a social functional nature, informational talk. Can be social or academic setting. In two parts, you get around 50 seconds (in two parts) to look at the questions. There will be no spoken example; you can see a written example. Approx 3-4 minutes.
Section 3: Usually a conversation between two to four people. Academic setting. Education / training based context. In two parts, there is no example on the tape in this section. Approx 4 minutes. You will get around 50 seconds (in two parts) to look at the questions.
Section 4: Usually a lecture or speech given as a monologue. Academic setting. Education / training based context. No breaks in between. There might be a written example. You may get note or summary completion or multiple choice or a mixture of question types. You get approx 45 seconds to look at all the questions in the beginning of section 4. Approx 4-5 minutes. Here, the question types are divided in two parts. For example, question no 31 to 35 are multiple choice and question no 36 to 40 are summary or table completion. Now, when the speaker moves from question 35 to 36 i.e. when the question type changes, there will be a pause of 2-3 seconds. This pause is a hint for you that now the question type is changed.
NOTE: As the Listening test progresses, the recording becomes more difficult. It does not mean that it becomes faster as it progresses; it becomes complex progressively and tests all the Listening skills of the candidate.
