Password Listening
Password Listening consists of five sections. Test-takers have 1 hour to complete the five sections. In each section there are one or more listening tasks to be completed.
Once test-takers press the play button, it is not possible to pause or restart the recording. Test-takers will hear each recording twice. The second time they hear the recording the question(s) will appear.
