Hi Jef

I hope you practiced...the listening needs practice...then only one can get
7 or above. I doubt even native speakers of american english can get 7
unless they practice and get used to it a bit before the test.

On the whole I have rarely heard anyone getting 7 in the listening
section. Even the format they take the test is also a bit tricky and
not like toefl.
