ILTA Listening (1 Viewer)

Hey

I was doing some practice listening exams for the upcoming half yearly exam for Italian Continuers and came across an ILTA exam I believe it was 2003 and I was honestly petrified the density of vocab, not necessarily the speed but the level of sophistication necessary to go well was astonishing. Then I had a quick look at a real HSC exam and though oh god even harder and it was a lot easier in comparison.

Does anyone else find this a problem?

yeh, they say that the HSC listenings are easier and it's true, we do some every once and a while in class. It's not that the vocab is dense, it's that you have to analyse it thorough as well to get top marks, don't you think?
