TIPS

Part A  – 2 audios; total 24 short answers

Listen to two extracts of  healthcare professionals talking to patients.

Do

• Use the sub-headings to guide you.
• Give as exact an answer as you hear.
• Write in note form

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 time with erasers to correct mistakes. Just cross out what you do not want the examiner to read.

Part B – 6 extracts with 3-option MCQ

Do

• Read carefully. Note context for each extract and start to consider kind of language that might be coming.
• Mark your answers on the Question Paper by filling in the circle completely using a 2B pencil.

Don’t

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

Part C – 2 longer recordings; 6 x 3-option MCQs each

Do

• Read carefully. Note context for each extract and start to consider kind of language that might be coming.
• Mark your answers on the Question Paper by filling in the circle completely using a 2B pencil.

Don’t

• Listen only for exact words found in the answer options. The speaker(s) will often use synonyms.
• Fill in more than one answer circle. The scanner will not be able to recognise it and you will not receive any marks for that question.
