What to Expect
Audio: A simple question about general knowledge, everyday life, or basic science. · Visual: Occasionally an image appears to provide context. · Goal: Provide a one- or two-word answer.

The Do's and Don'ts
Listen for KeywordsFocus on words like 'Who,' 'Where,' 'How many,' or 'Opposite' to identify exactly what the question is asking.
Answer ImmediatelyStart speaking as soon as the audio ends and the 'Recording' indicator appears.
Keep it BriefProvide only the necessary word(s). A simple direct answer scores the same as a full sentence.
Make a GuessIf you aren't sure, say the first logical word that comes to mind. You lose nothing for a wrong guess.
Don't Wait for a ToneIf you wait for a 'beep,' you might miss the first few seconds of your recording window.
Don't Use FillersAvoid 'Umm,' 'Uh,' or 'I think it is…' Just say the answer directly.
Don't OverthinkThe questions are designed to be simple. The most obvious answer is almost always correct.
Don't Pause Too LongIf you stay silent for more than 3 seconds, the microphone may close automatically.

Tips & Tricks
The Noun Rule
Most answers are nouns — people, places, things. If stuck, try to name the object or person being described.
Visualize the Context
If the question is about a library, imagine a library. Mental imaging helps recall related vocabulary faster.
Watch the Progress Bar
Finish your word before the blue bar reaches the end. Once it says 'Completed,' you are done.
