Hi There,

I need a clarification with listening section evaluation. I recently was taking a practice test, after the test I found that some of my answers were slightly varying from the actual result and I got a doubt whether such difference will be marked as negative.

For example, for one of the question I answered it as "Lecture" and the actual result for the same question was "Lectures". I missed the plural notation in my answer, will that be considered as wrong answer?

In a nutshell, will the difference between singular and plural be accounted for the right answer?

You feedback will be useful for me.

Regards,

Hello!

Answers in the listening test must follow exactly what the speakers say. If the speaker uses a plural, so must you. In addition to plurals, pay attention to verb forms (like, likes, liked) and capital letters. I teach my students to avoid the capital letter problem by WRITING LIKE THIS.

All the best,
David

Thanks for the clarification!!
