In this episode of The OET Podcast, we focus on practicing for OET Listening Part A. 

You’ll listen to a conversation between a GP and a young pregnant patient discussing early pregnancy symptoms, including nausea, fatigue, and cramping.

During the conversation, you will have an exercise sheet with blanks for you to fill in, based on the key information from the dialogue.


In this episode, you’ll practice:

  • Listening for key details in a healthcare consultation.
  • Identifying medical terms and symptoms related to pregnancy.
  • Improving your ability to extract important information from patient conversations.


Once you’ve listened to the conversation, the answers will be provided so you can assess your understanding and progress.

This episode is designed to help you sharpen your listening skills for OET Listening Part A, with a practical scenario that mimics real-life patient consultations.
