Change to the format for B2/C1/C2 Digital Listening tests

 

Following candidate feedback, an improvement has been made to the format in B2 First Digital and B2 First for Schools Digital Listening Part 3, and C1 Advanced Digital and C2 Proficiency Digital Listening Part 4.

The task focus remains the same (multiple matching) but, from 1 November 2025, it is changing to a drag and drop format to reduce the amount of scrolling. Sample tests and related support will be updated to reflect the change.
