That’s a common problem! The listening section can be tough because it requires sustained attention. One thing that helps is practicing active listening. Don’t just passively listen; try to anticipate what the speaker will say next. Think about the context and the overall topic

Definitely! Active listening is key. I also found it helpful to take concise notes. Don’t try to write down everything, just key words and main ideas. This keeps your mind engaged and helps you remember the important information.

Note-taking is something I struggle with. I either write too much and miss the rest of the conversation, or I write too little and forget what I heard.
