Listening Test 7 Part A, B & C

HELPFUL TIPS!

Part A – This lasts around 15 minutes.

Listen to two extracts of  healthcare professionals talking to patients.

Do

• Use the sub-headings to guide you.
• Give specific rather than general information from the recording.

Don’t

• Jump ahead or back: the gaps follow the sequence of the recording.
• Write full sentences: a word or short phrase is sufficient.
• Don’t waste valuable time using an eraser to correct a mistake if you make one. Simply cross out any words you don’t want the person marking your paper to accept; this takes a lot less time and you will not be penalised.

Part B – This lasts around 10 – 12 minutes

Listen to six recorded extracts from the healthcare workplace. Answer one multiple-choice question for each extract. 

Do

• Read the contextual information for each extract to understand the interaction you will hear.
• Read through each question carefully.
• Mark your answers on this Question Paper by filling in the circle using a 2B pencil.

Don’t

• Select your answer until you have heard the whole extract.
• Fill in more than one circle on the Question Paper as the scanner will not be able to recognise your answer and you will not receive any marks for that question.

Part C – This lasts around 15 minutes

Listen to 2 recordings  of a presentation or interview on a health-related issue. Answer six multiple-choice questions for each recording while you listen. 

Do

• Read through each question carefully.
• Mark your answers on this Question Paper by filling in the circle using a 2B pencil.

Don’t

• Wait for key words in the question or answer options to be said in the recording. The speaker(s) will often use synonyms of the words you read.
• Fill in more than one circle on the Question Paper as the scanner will not be able to recognise your answer and you will not receive any marks for that question.
