While this contains exercises that are supposed to give you the tools to answer the exam questions, I would have preferred more actual exam-type exercises (although there are some of them). Still, the fact that I did better than I thought in the final mock exam gave me some strength... The key point to passing the listening comprehension exam is the capability to focus all the way through the end, I think. Compared to the other prep books I used so far it didn't feel as useful, but I'm still glad I bought it.
