Sit the whole paper

Listening Test 1 and Test 2 are the full paper, free without an account. Use headphones and play each recording once; pausing makes the practice easier than the exam.

  1. Part A: read the gaps before the consultation starts and write the word you hear, not a paraphrase.
  2. Part B: read the question, listen for what the speaker decides or asks for, and watch for a rejected suggestion.
  3. Part C: listen for the “but”: the speaker often gives a view and then qualifies it.

What your mark means

Put the total into the score calculator for an estimated range, then compare it with the line for your regulator on the requirements page. For the next sitting, repeat the part where you lost most marks rather than the whole paper.

Questions candidates ask

Where can I do an OET listening practice test for free?

Here: Listening Test 1 and Test 2 are free with no account, with audio, and marked when you submit. Test 1 is also split into Parts A, B and C, each on one page with transcripts.

How many questions are in OET Listening?

42: 24 in Part A (two consultations, 12 gaps each), 6 in Part B and 12 in Part C (two recordings, six questions each).

How long is OET Listening?

About 40 minutes. Each recording plays once, with time to read the questions before it starts.

How many marks do I need in OET Listening for a B?

OET adjusts the conversion for each test, so there is no fixed table. Its guidance is that about 30 of 42 is usually around 350 (grade B).

Do I get the transcript?

After you submit, yes. Each answer shows the line from the recording that proves it, so you can hear what you missed and which word pulled you to a wrong option.
