The current research applied descriptive method. The subjects of the research were 10 students with 5 beginners and 5 advanced students who took the TOEFL-like test in UPT Bahasa, the University of Lampung. Interview was used to collect the data. The result of the research showed that the beginners slightly differed in using strategies from the advanced students in terms of determining the topic, and drawing conclusions of the aspects related to Wh-questions. This suggests that listeningstrategies do not necessarily contribute to learners' listening achievement.
