Learn one thing, then check it

Wait for the final decision

Choosing an early distractor

Last reviewed:

Band 5–7 · About 10 minutes

The band range helps you choose a practice focus. It is not a level assessment. Use paper or speak aloud; nothing is saved here.

01

Diagnose

Answer on paper or aloud before opening the check.

“We planned Monday, but settled on Thursday.” Which day is confirmed?

Compare my starting answer

Thursday. The later clause changes the plan.

02

Understand

A mentioned option is not always the decision. Listen for what changed and why. Keep the rejected choice beside the final choice during review.

03

Solve

  1. Read each option for meaning.
  2. Note a choice without committing early.
  3. Listen for changes and their reasons.
  4. Reject options that conflict with the final decision.

04

Practice

Cover the transcript while a partner reads: “The garden team considered building new benches. Repairing the old ones would cost less, but we lack the tools. Instead, we will borrow benches from the theatre. They are available this weekend.”

  1. What will the team do? A Build benches. B Repair benches. C Borrow benches.
  2. Why was repair rejected? A No tools. B No space. C No time.
Check my answers
  1. C — Instead introduces borrowing as the replacement plan.
  2. A — We lack the tools explains why repair was rejected.

05

Verify

Quote the change and the reason, without counting this as a test result. Tomorrow, use a new decision with different options.
