Can I listen to the whole Listening examination to check it before I play it to my candidates in the examination?

No. You should spot-check the listening examination for recording and sound quality when you receive it by listening to short excerpts. Then, in order to check the acoustics, one of the recordings should be spot-checked in the examination room one working day before the examination. On neither of the above occasions may the recording be listened to in full nor may the recording be removed from the centre for checking. After each check the examination materials must be returned to your centre's secure store.
