🚀 How to Practice Effectively
- Listen for Synonyms: The audio may say "annually," but the question says "every year."
- Watch for Distractors: Speakers often change information. Don’t write the first date or number you hear.
- Check Singular / Plural: Missing an "s" can cost you a mark.
- Predict Before Listening: Read questions quickly and guess what type of word is needed (noun, number, name).
- Write Clearly: Spelling mistakes = lost marks.
