Area of Weakness on ELA Regents Exam

What is part 1
In part 1 I am asked to Listen to a speech twice and than take notes for important information. I am than asked to write a response to a speech.After that I am asked to do a set of multiple choice questions on key ideas. Finally I have to write a persuasive essay, using a specific guideline which will be given to me.

My weaknesses-
My weakness for this section is mainly the listening part. I have to listen and take notes at the same time. Sometimes I miss out on writing important information.

How to improve
A) I can improve by writing the important information the first time the teacher reads it out loud and than listen very carefully the second time.
B)
C)
D)

You should only be focused on the speaker while listening for key facts and ideas. Remember that you don't need to write down everything.

Something that might also help you take the only notes you need is the 5W+H! Also you might want to write down quotes and exact dates and any other extra details you may need for the 5W+H.
