   LISTENING STRATEGIES BY ASTA ACHIEVERS:-

1. The oet   listening test is a fixed format test with standardised instructions. The instructions you see here are the instructions you will receive on test day. You should make sure you are familiar with these instructions, so you know what to expect ahead of you test.

2.  The topics in the listening test are of generic healthcare interest, accessible to candidates across all professions.

3. Use the time you are given before each task in the listening test to look at the questions and think about what you are going to hear. You can use this information in part A and C to help you understand the structure of the recording you will hear, and in part B ,you should read through the questions so that you know what information and ideas you are listening for when you hear the recording.

4. You may find it helpful to underline important words in the question for multiple-choice questions, and underline important words that appear before and after the gap in note completion questions.

5. You only hear the recordings for the task in the listening. Test once, so you will need to record your answers as you listen.  

6. Make sure you fill in the gaps in part A and select an answer choice for all of the questions in part B and C .You will not lose marks for incorrect answers.

7. Do not worry if you miss an answer as you work through the task – continue to move forward with the recording, otherwise you will miss the next question, too. Once you have finished the task you can look back at the question you missed, select the answer that seems most likely, and move on.

8. Listen to English every day. You can improve your listening abilities by listening to a range of listening materials from a variety of sources, such as podcasts and videos, rather than focusing on test related contexts. 

9. Write clearly and legibly – if the assessor can not read what you have written, your answer would not be marked as correct. For more tips kindly visit Asta Achievers Academy.

The task contains two parts.

First is preparation. You can practice the text for 35 or 40 seconds. Focus on reading and understanding the text. Reading in your mind may not help when you practice as some words may not be clear. Use your voice while practicing.

Second is recording. Given you will have an understanding of text by now, read the text aloud while recording as if you are communicating with someone.

You need to take pause when there are full stops, semi colons and commas.

Focus on the context.

What needs to be communicated by the speaker in terms of importance? Stress on keywords. To make the listener clearly understand about the subject, speaker may often focus on the first few words which can be slow and loud comparatively. Also there can be a pause after these first few words.

Also think about the words which are not stressed like conjunctions. Don't give much importance to these words and avoid stresses on them by saying them quickly enough.
