Hi. I have an upcoming TOEFL test and am facing trouble in the listening section. I am not able to concentrate while taking notes. As a result, things I hear except notes are not clear to me, and I cannot answer the questions from those parts correctly. Any advice? I can concentrate and fully understand the lecture or conversation without taking notes. But in that case, I forget important things.
first of all you need to concentrate and secondly pay attention to detail. use shortcuts to write so it will save your time. in first 10-15secs main idea is there so that you can answer 1 question ,after that there is alot of repetition so dont focus much on it. in middle of conversation or lecture there is lot important information and pratice as much as you can it will help you.
