What can I expect in the OET Listening subtest?
The OET listening section is split into three parts; is common to all 12 professions and lasts 40-45 minutes. You should be able to fully understand a range of health-related spoken material such as patient consultations, interviews, workplace interactions, and lectures.
In OET Listening Part A, you will be asked to listen to a conversation between a patient and a healthcare professional eg. a patient and their doctor, nurse or podiatrist. The task is then to fill in a set of case notes with the missing words heard on the audio. Each extract lasts approximately 5 minutes.
In OET Listening Part B, you will hear 6 short extracts that take place in a typical healthcare environment. For example, you may hear a conversation between colleagues; a short briefing or a news piece. Your task is to answer a multiple choice question based on what you hear.
Lastly, in OET Listening Part C, you will hear a longer audio text that consists of either a monologue by or an interview with a healthcare professional. Like in Listening Part B, your task is to answer a multiple choice question based on what you hear.
