4.Can I hear the recording again?

  No, the recording will be played only once so listen carefully.

The options can be used in the same manner as you normally would. Select text, left click: options will appear.

No, you will be given a heads up of some seconds (depending on the question) before the recording starts.

Ideally, you should write as you hear but in case you are not sure about your typing speed, note it down instead.

One needs to tick these words while listening to the recording. Going back, you can miss more incorrect words so continue instead of correcting mistakes while the clip is playing. You can correct mistakes after the clip is complete.
