Hi!
Not doing French, but from a general language perspective:
- dont listen to the whole sentence - just look out for key words that you know will be in there and you can fill everything else in with context
-read the questions beforehand, so you know what you're looking for
The only thing you can do before is practice (which you seem to have down pat!  :D)  after i starting listening to German music, listening tests became a lot easier to follow...

Good luck!

Cheddar Cheese:
Ok thanks!

Also, would you recommend taking notes during the first playing? Because whenever I do that, I can't focus on writing the words and listening at the same time, so I end up missing so much info even if I write simple phrases!! But if I just listen to the context, there is so much pressure on the second listening to get all the answers.

Also, do you note take in english or french/the other language if you are meant to write in french? What about if you are meant to write in english?

Personally, I note take everything in French. Basically during listening I try to scribble down whatever basic formation of a French word it sounds like, so writing down something that sounds like what I've just heard. Even for the responses required in English because you don't need to convert everything into Eng whilst notetaking  :) Hope that made sense!

Hokiksyo-min:
Yeah, write down anything that sounds important in the first run through.

I agree! In a German listening SAC I heard something that sounded like "we want to go into the grandpa tonight" so I wrote it down and figured out what it meant in the reading time. Moral of the story, definitely write in French/not English.
