TOEFL® TIP: Listen for Details

When listening to a lecture, pay attention to visual as well as verbal cues.

• During the lecture, pay attention to words that are written on the board.
• Listen for numbers that you might hear in prices, times, or addresses.
• Listen for verbs and other expressions that show if an event is in the past, present or future.
