Listening

Hello,
How is the listening section of the exam taken?
Do they provide you with mp3 players so that you can control the audio?

Which exam & which exam board?
In most cases it’ll be a loudspeaker which will play a select amount of times

OCR AS Persian
So they don't give you a mp3 player?
Also it is impossible to do the test if that is the case because the audio is very fast for the amount of answers they want

I’m only at GCSE but I believe it’s the same. They play an extract a certain number of times whilst you answer questions. There is a set pause between the repeats to give you time to answer. But it’s AS so try contacting your teacher for an accurate answer. Music is a weirdly difficult exam for the theory section so dw about it if it seems really hard because usually grade boundaries are rather low for that section in itself
