understand a range of general and technicallanguage,not only vocabulary and essential grammar,but the meaning of more complexcommunications,including fact versus opinions,overall meaning and implication for practice,direct and indirect calls to action,cause and effect,inference and more.This is vital forinteracting with patients,their family and caregivers,for working with colleagues to ensurecorrect patient management for best health outcomes,and for institutions so systems workefficiently for the benefit of the population served.  \nThe goal of the listening subtest is to ensure your skills are to a high enough standard in all thesereal-life areas.  \n# Listening Subtest Contents\n\nThere are three parts:A,B and C.  \nPart A audios and questions focus on clinical interview scenarios between healthcareprofessionals and patients,and the detailed information being shared.  \nPart B focuses on a range of communication scenarios around patient care,clinicaladministration,procedures and protocols,and the meaning behind the exchanges.  \nPart C features longer audios on a health-related but non-clinical topic,and calls forunderstanding the deeper meaning of the information shared.  \nBecause audios in all parts are played only once,and the scenarios change repeatedly,thesubtest can be challenging.This coaching guide highlights many of the points,pitfalls andpeculiarities candidates should pay attention to,so they are prepared and confident andincrease their chances of success.  \nLISTENING PARTA  \n# Format\n\n·Two 5-minute

short pause betweenaudios 1 and 2.  \n● For each audio,there are 12 blank question spaces to be filled with informationyou hear in the audio.  \n·Your answers should be note form,1 to 3 words.You do not write longsentences.  \n# Essential Skills\n\n·Quick reading(skimming)in the 30-second reading time.This helps with -->  \n·Pre-empting,quickly considering the kind of vocabulary coming up  \n·Recognizing signposting language,cues that the answer is coming up soon  \n·A wide vocabulary to recognise rephrasing.  \n# SAMPLE EXERCISE PREVIEW\n\n\n| ·Lisa Burke,36 years old,new patient at
