Real B2 First listening uses audio files. Here you practise with transcripts to build your skills — the same question formats, strategies, and difficulty levels as the actual exam.
Multiple Choice
Eight short extracts in different situations. Choose the best answer (A, B or C) for each.
💡 Strategy:
Read the question and options before each extract; listen for the speaker's overall meaning.
Sentence Completion
One long monologue. Complete ten sentences with the exact word or short phrase you hear.
💡 Strategy:
The words are not paraphrased — write what you hear and check your spelling.
Multiple Matching
Five speakers on one topic. Match each speaker to one of eight options (three are extra).
💡 Strategy:
Match the speaker's main point, not just a word they happen to say.
Long Interview
One long interview with seven multiple-choice questions on opinion, attitude and detail.
💡 Strategy:
Questions follow the order of the recording and focus on WHY the speaker feels a certain way.
