As much as anything references to the text is what is needed - so you could say (if talking about arrogance from Mr B) that he references the Titanic - which the audience would know had sunk - the actual quote is not always crucial. That's not a very good example but I hope ygwim.
@BonjourCrisette does she need any last-minute french reading and listening tips? My best listening one is not to worry about the question you missed (bc she will miss some) - go on to the next. And always put something down as it may be multiple choice or (for example) - advantages of a holiday resort - if you have no idea you can always say something likely.
My fave french listening story is DD whose exam had someone whose bread was "trop epais" and no one (except the French girl in the class) knew what it meant. So they all put stale, dry, crusty, mouldy!
