Do it every time

Strategy for this section

1Code every option

Mark each option T, P or X — do not select on the first listen.

T صَحِيحٌ · P جُزْئِيٌّ · X مُخَالِفٌ/غَيْرُ مَذْكُورٍ

2Select only T

After the second listen, choose only the two fully-true options.

3Beware partial truth

An option that is almost true is still wrong — reject it.

يَقُولُ المُذِيعُ: نَادِي الشَّبَابِ يَفْتَحُ أَبْوَابَهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مَا عَدَا الجُمُعَةَ. الِاشْتِرَاكُ مَجَّانِيٌّ لِطُلَّابِ المَدَارِسِ. تُوجَدُ أَنْشِطَةٌ رِيَاضِيَّةٌ وَفَنِّيَّةٌ، وَلٰكِنْ لَا تُوجَدُ دُرُوسٌ لِلْمُوسِيقَى هٰذَا العَامَ. يُنْصَحُ بِإِحْضَارِ زُجَاجَةِ مَاءٍ. وَسَيُقَامُ مَعْرِضٌ فَنِّيٌّ فِي نِهَايَةِ الفَصْلِ.

Accuracy of selection — 0 marks

  • Code every option T/P/X; select only the fully-true two after the second listen.
  • A partial truth is a trap — 'almost true' is wrong.
  • 'Mentioned' is not the same as 'true'.
