Task 5: Rapid Fire Improvisation 

In this task your listening comprehension, thinking speed, and improvisational abilities will be tested. You will hear a rapid fire list of questions for which you will need to provide a 15 second response. You will hear a beep that signals when when to start and stop your responses. For an extra challenge, listen to the audio again and provide different responses for each question. This will help you work on your improvisation skills which can come in handy in this section of the real test.
