just the time the the moment of the

3:43

answer that you're listening for

3:45

that can be a big problem in the

3:46

listening paper

3:48

but in the computer-based exam you're

3:50

guaranteed to have headphones

3:52

not only that but you will see on the

3:54

screen in the computer-based exam in the

3:56

top right hand corner that you have

3:59

a volume control so audio control so you

4:01

can turn the volume up or down to your

4:05

preference which again is a big

4:07

advantage

4:08

you have more control of the listening

4:10

in general another advantage that many

4:12

people don't realize that you having a

4:15

computer-based exam is that you have a

4:16

little screen timer at the top of the

4:19

screen

4:20

uh counting down from the moment you

4:22

start each paper it counts down and you

4:24

can see exactly how many more minutes

4:26

you have

4:27

left

4:28

so it helps you to plan your time as you

4:31

know if you've watched my previous

4:32

videos

4:33

the reading and use of english in

4:35

particular it's very important to have

4:37

good time management because you have

4:40

90 minutes to do a lot of reading

4:43

and a lot of questions answer a lot of

4:45

questions so you need to manage your

4:47

time well so if you have the minutes

4:49

there

4:51

ticking down it will help you another

4:53

advantage
