What this part tests

This part is tested with Note Completion (Q1–6). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.

Questions 1–6: Note Completion

Strategy: Predict the word class from the note, find the paraphrase of the note's keyword in the transcript, then copy the answer exactly within the word limit.

Q1KAEDEN
“Hello Charlotte. I’m Kaeden, one of the supervisors. Welcome to the team.”

The supervisor introduces himself as Kaeden, so the name field takes KAEDEN, written with a capital letter.

Q2lockeralso accepted: lockers
“So, after you’ve finished at the front desk, I’ll take you to the staffroom. Put your coat and rucksack in one of the lockers there. Take whichever one is free.”

She is told to put her coat and rucksack in one of the lockers in the staffroom, so the storage item is locker.

Q3passport
“I was told to bring my passport with me. HR need to take a note of the number in it.”

She was told to bring her passport because HR need the number in it, so the document is 'passport'.

Q4uniform
“OK. Tiffany will give you a uniform. They have lots in different sizes, so you just tell her what you need.”

Tiffany will give her a uniform in the right size, so the clothing item is 'uniform'.

Q5thirdalso accepted: 3rd
“The staffroom’s on the first floor, and HR are a couple of floors above that, on the third floor. There’s a staircase outside the staffroom.”

HR are a couple of floors above the first-floor staffroom, on the third floor, so the ordinal 'third' is needed.

Q60412665903
“It’s oh-four-one-two double-six-five nine-oh-three.”

The number is dictated as oh-four-one-two double-six-five nine-oh-three, so write 0412665903, using 66 for double-six.
