Take this as a computer-based test
How you'll sit this mock
This mock runs in the CBT player: the recording plays once, back-to-back through all four sections with no pause or rewind, the question view follows the audio automatically, and a 2-minute check timer starts the moment the recording ends — exactly like the real computer-delivered test. Your answers save as you type, and you can mark yourself the moment you finish.
Check your sound before you start — the recording begins as soon as you press Start and cannot be replayed.
Objectives
Sit a full Listening practice test under realistic timing.
Rehearse the computer-based test's 2-minute check after the recording ends (the paper test's 10-minute transfer does not apply on the computer-delivered test).
Identify patterns in your own errors and tag them by question type.
Build a personal strategy checklist for the real exam.

Warm-Up: 30-Second Strategy Review
Quick recap of the four most important strategies from the week. Make sure you'd recognise the trap behind each one.
Strategy
The trap it prevents
Read questions before the audio
Hearing the answer before you know the question
Listen for paraphrase, not exact words
Locking in a wrong answer because the words "matched"
Don't lock in until decision is reached
Distractors (the first option mentioned, then rejected)
Respect the word count
Losing a mark for a correct meaning written in too many words
Spelling matters
Right meaning, wrong letters = no mark
