Which TOEIC listening part should I practise first?
Take the Listening half of a sample test once, count the questions you miss in each part, and start with the part that cost the most marks.
Take the Listening half of a sample test once, count the questions you miss in each part, and start with the part that cost the most marks. If the counts are close, begin with Part 2: one question with three replies is the shortest format in the section, a rule about question words can be tested and corrected in one session, and the same habit carries into Part 3. Leave Part 4 for last, because it needs sustained attention and improves more slowly. Retake the diagnostic test after two weeks, not after every session, so that the second result reflects practice rather than memory.
