I'm doing italian too, i'm just going to do as many listening tasks as possible. even though the topics of the practice listenings tasks is 99.9% not likely to be on the actual exam, i find i just need practice of listening and writing AT THE SAME TIME. the text moves so fast, that you need to write what you hear whilst still listening for more answers. that's my biggest challenge, beyond just understanding the text! besides the listening is worth more than the essay unfortunately, because the essay is my strength. so we can't afford to screw up part A at all! other than practice exams i really dont think there is any other way to prepare for this italian exam
