Part 3 practice

Two to four people, often students and a tutor, discuss a course, a project or an assignment.

Part 3 is a discussion in an education or training setting, such as two students planning a presentation or a tutor giving feedback on an essay. The speakers agree, disagree and change their minds, so the questions test whether you can follow opinions, not just facts.

Expect multiple choice and matching. The answer is often the option the speakers settle on after rejecting the others, so wait until a point is decided before you choose.
