What this part tests
This part is tested with Note Completion (Q1–10). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.
Questions 1–10: 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.
“So this is a position for a receptionist – I believe you’ve done that sort of work before?”
The job title follows 'a position for a', and the agency describes 'a position for a receptionist'.
“Well, this job’s in Fordham, so not too far away for you, and it’s at the medical centre there.”
The workplace forms part of a name, 'the medical centre', so 'Medical' takes a capital letter.
“It’s quite near the station, on Chastons Road.”
A street name is required, and the address is given as 'on Chastons Road', which must be spelt exactly.
“Yes, and you’d also be involved in making appointments, whether face to face or on the phone.”
A plural noun is needed for the duties, and the role involves 'making appointments' by phone or in person.
“And another of your duties would be keeping the centre’s database up-to-date.”
A singular noun follows 'the centre's', and the duty is 'keeping the centre's database up-to-date'.
“Now when the details came in, I immediately thought of you because one thing they do require is someone with experience”
An uncountable noun is required after 'someone with', and the employer wants 'someone with experience'.
“stay calm, and at the same time be confident when interacting with the public.”
An adjective is needed after 'be', and applicants must 'be confident when interacting with the public'.
“Well, they’re looking for someone from the beginning of next month, but I should tell you that this isn’t a permanent job, it’s temporary, so the contract would be just to the end of September.”
The adjective contrasts with 'permanent', and the speaker explains 'this isn't a permanent job, it's temporary'.
“One fifteen.”
A time is required, and the speaker reads it as 'One fifteen', written 1.15 or 1:15.
“Oh, one thing … is there parking available for staff at the centre?”
A noun is needed for the staff facility, and the caller asks 'is there parking available for staff'.
