breathe. breathe some more. good. 1st: it helps me to listen to spanish music. find some pop music that is a little slow on the lyrical end (i like nelly furtado for this) 2nd: get someone to speak with you, as much as possible, in the time leading up to the test. it is the best practice you can get! 3. breathe even more. you know your stuff, so relax and let it all come through. good luck.

Have you considered, or have you, in fact, had a talk with you teacher about this problem? If you have, then good for you. If you have not, then why not. Why not go to her or him and ask his or her advice? They can only either help you or not help you.

It's not essential to hear everything, and usually, nobody understands 100% but you should focus on the task itself and only the things you need to hear. Luckily, those things are usually repeated in a listening, that is, mentioned more than once.

Just relax and give it your best try!
