 The Listening section isn't a Spanish test. It's an accent test.
 You might be fluent. You might teach Spanish every day. But if your students all sound like one region, the Praxis Listening section is going to ambush you. The test pulls audio from across the Spanish-speaking world — castellano from Madrid, seseo from Buenos Aires, fast Caribbean rhythm, the ll/y of Argentina. If your ear hasn't been trained on all of them, you'll lose points you shouldn't.
I built this list during my retake prep. By the time I sat for attempt 2, no accent could surprise me. Listening went from 17/25 to 23/25.
