This is a 50-question timed test, proportioned to the real 200-question exam so that each part carries the same share of the marks. It takes about 33 minutes: 12 for the Listening block using transcripts, and 21 for the Reading block.
Do not read the answer key first. The point of the exercise is the error pattern at the end, and that only works if the attempt is honest.

Questions 9-13.
|
M: Good afternoon, Aldergate Property Management. W: Hello, this is Nadia Farouk in unit 12B. The heating in the second bedroom has not worked since Saturday. M: I am sorry to hear that. Have you tried the reset switch on the panel by the door? W: I have, twice. The other rooms are fine, so it is just that radiator. M: Then it is likely the valve. Our contractor is in the building on Wednesday morning for a boiler service — I can add your unit to that visit. Would nine thirty work? W: I start work at nine. Could he come after five instead? M: He finishes at four, but I can book a separate evening call for Thursday. There is no extra charge for tenants. W: Thursday evening is fine. Thank you. |
Questions 14-18.
|
W1: Ravi, the print quote for the annual report came back at eleven thousand. Our budget line is eight. M: That is well over. Is the page count the problem? W1: Partly. It is 96 pages this year, up from 72, and they have quoted heavier paper throughout. W2: We could use the heavier stock only for the cover. Farrow did that for the sustainability report and it came in near budget. M: Get a revised quote on that basis. And ask whether 88 pages changes the price bracket — there is usually a break point. W1: I will call them this afternoon. If it still exceeds eight, do we go digital only? M: Not for this one. The board expects print copies. We would take it from the events line instead. |
Questions 19-22.
|
“Good morning and welcome to the Halvorsen Works. Before we begin the tour, three points. First, safety glasses are mandatory beyond the yellow line and are available at the desk behind you. Second, photography is permitted in the assembly hall but not in the finishing bay, where several products are still under embargo. Third, the tour lasts fifty minutes and finishes at the visitor shop, where tour guests receive fifteen percent off. If you need to leave early, our guide will direct you to the side exit rather than back through the plant.” |
Questions 23-25.
|
“Hi Dana, it is Owen from Facilities. Two things about the move on the fourteenth. The lift will be reserved for us from eight until noon, so anything that has to go up to five needs to be crated and labelled by seven forty-five — the crates arrived this morning and are in the loading bay. Also, the desk layout you sent puts four workstations along the north wall, but that wall has the only power risers on the floor, so we would be running cables across a walkway. I would move those four to the east side. Call me back before Thursday if you disagree, otherwise I will draw it that way.” |

Questions 38-41 refer to the following notice.
|
Marlow Public Library — Changes to the reservation service From 6 January, items reserved through the catalogue will be held at the collection shelf for seven days rather than ten. Borrowers will receive a notification when an item arrives and a reminder two days before the hold expires. Reservations may still be placed free of charge for items held within the Marlow network. Requests for items from partner libraries outside the network now carry a fee of 1.50, payable when the request is placed rather than on collection. Borrowers with more than five expired holds in a twelve-month period may be limited to three active reservations at a time. Existing reservations placed before 6 January will be held under the previous ten-day rule. |
Questions 42-46 refer to the following two documents.
|
Ashgrove Conference Centre — Booking confirmation Client: Delmar Analytics · Event: Regional sales briefing · Date: 19 May, 09:00-16:00 Room: Kestrel Suite (capacity 80) · Layout: theatre · Catering: morning refreshments and standing lunch for 65 Included: projector, two microphones, wifi, on-site technician until 13:00 Balance due 5 May. Changes to catering numbers accepted until 12 May. |
|
To: events@ashgrovecentre.example Hello, Two changes to our 19 May booking. First, attendance is now 74 rather than 65, so please increase lunch accordingly. Second, our afternoon session is a workshop rather than a presentation, so we need cabaret layout from 13:30 onward. I appreciate that means a changeover during the lunch break. Could you also confirm whether the technician can stay until 15:00? We will pay the additional hours. The balance was transferred on 2 May. Thanks, |
Questions 47-50 refer to the following article.
|
Cargo handlers at the port of Kestrelbay moved 4 percent less container volume last quarter, the first decline in nine quarters. Port authority figures attribute most of the fall to the closure of the eastern approach channel for dredging, which reduced the number of berthing slots available to the largest vessels between April and June. Smaller feeder traffic rose over the same period as operators redistributed cargo through Kestrelbay’s southern berths, which the dredging did not affect. The authority expects total volume to recover in the third quarter now that the channel has reopened, although it has not restored its original annual forecast. Two terminal operators have asked the authority to publish dredging schedules eighteen months in advance rather than six, arguing that longer notice would let them redirect vessels without losing bookings to neighbouring ports. |

Score the two blocks separately. Multiply each block score by four to compare with a full 100-question section.
| Correct out of 25 (per block) | Equivalent out of 100 | Approximate section score |
|---|---|---|
| 24-25 | 96-100 | 465-495 |
| 22-23 | 88-92 | 415-450 |
| 20-21 | 80-84 | 370-400 |
| 18-19 | 72-76 | 325-360 |
| 15-17 | 60-68 | 255-305 |
| 12-14 | 48-56 | 195-245 |
| Under 12 | Under 48 | Under 195 |
A 50-question test carries roughly twice the sampling error of a 200-question one, so read the band, not the number. The official scale is 5-495 per section with a standard error of about 25 points even on a full test.
| Pattern in your errors | What it means | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Part 5 errors clustered in word form and prepositions | Closed rule set not yet automatic | Drill the sentence-pattern frames until recognition is instant |
| Part 7 questions left blank | Pacing, not comprehension | Cap Parts 5 and 6 at 20 minutes combined |
| Part 7 errors on inference and NOT questions only | Reading the options too early | Answer detail questions first, inference last |
| Part 2 errors where a wrong option repeated a question word | Falling for word-repetition traps | Treat any repeated word as a warning signal |
| Part 3 and 4 errors on the third question of each set | Not reading questions ahead | Read all three stems during the directions |
| Errors spread evenly across all parts | Vocabulary coverage, not technique | Work the topic vocabulary list before more practice tests |
The last row is the one candidates most often misdiagnose. Evenly spread errors are rarely a technique problem, and more practice tests will not move them.
No — it is 50 questions built to the real part proportions, which takes about 33 minutes instead of two hours. It is designed for a mid-week diagnostic. Use a full 200-question official test for a score prediction.
It is a band, not a number. A 50-question sample carries roughly twice the sampling error of the full test, and even the official 200-question exam has a standard error of about 25 scaled points per section. Treat any single figure as the middle of a wide range.
Yes, and especially on the Reading block. Timing is what surfaces the most common failure — overspending in Part 5 and leaving Part 7 questions unanswered — and an untimed attempt hides it completely.
So the test works without audio. Transcripts train the question technique that carries most of the Listening marks: reading questions ahead in Parts 3 and 4, mapping the first word in Part 2, and spotting word-repetition distractors. Add audio practice separately for processing speed.
Read the error diagnosis table before any explanation. The pattern in your errors decides what to study next, and that pattern is visible in five minutes, whereas reading fifty explanations takes an hour and usually changes nothing.
