🎧 Part A Audio: Consultation Extracts
Extract 1: Questions 1-12
You hear a doctor talking to a new patient called Ms. Taylor about her gastrointestinal issues. For questions 1-12, complete the notes with a word or short phrase that you hear.
You now have thirty seconds to look at the notes.
✅ Answer Key: Part A Only
- elementary school teacher
- bloating
- lower left side
- constant
- dairy product(s)
- Loperamide
- gallbladder
- swelling
- three kilo(s)
- anxiety level(s)
- Faecal Calprotectin Test

Quick Tips (3 Common Pitfalls)
- Location specificity matters
“left side” is not enough. The doctor specifies lower left side. - Plural recognition
“three kilos” is acceptable even though “three kilo” is heard. - Medical procedures vs. organs
“Gallbladder” is required, not the general idea of a past surgery.
