What this part tests

This part is tested with Form Completion (Q1–10). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.

Questions 1–10: Form Completion

Strategy: Read the form labels to predict the answer type, then listen for the paraphrase. Copy the exact word, name or number within the limit.

Q14also accepted: four
“I’ll put four down because that’s how old she’ll be when she starts.”

She writes 'four down because that's how old she'll be when she starts', so the age is 4.

Q246 Wombat
“It’s 46 Wombat Road, that’s W-O-M-B-A-T. Woodside 4032.”

The address is '46 Wombat Road', with Wombat spelled 'W-O-M-B-A-T', so 46 Wombat is required.

Q3Thursday
“Oh dear. I suppose Thursday would be all right because she has swimming on Friday.”

She chooses 'Thursday ... because she has swimming on Friday', so Thursday is the day.

Q48.30also accepted: 8:30
“I need to get to work in the city by 9:00 so I’ll drop her off at 8:30.”

She will 'drop her off at 8:30' to reach work by 9:00, so 8.30 is the time.

Q5red
“Well, I’ll put her in the red group and we can always change her to the green one if there are any problems.”

The child goes 'in the red group', which can later change to green, so red is the group.

Q6lunch
“Yes, she’ll only need lunch.”

She says 'she'll only need lunch', so lunch is the meal required.

Q7glasses
“No. But she does need to wear glasses.”

She confirms 'she does need to wear glasses', so glasses is the item.

Q8BALL
“OK. That’d better be my sister … Jenny Ball”

The emergency contact is 'my sister ... Jenny Ball', so the surname BALL is written in capitals.

Q9aunt
“Great. So she is the child’s aunt?”

The officer checks 'she is the child's aunt?', so aunt is the relationship.

Q10month
“You can choose to pay at the end of each term or we do offer a slightly discounted rate if you pay every month.”

A discount applies 'if you pay every month', so month is the payment frequency.
