What is inside

What you hear and read in the trial paper

  • Listening

    You hear a consultation in Part A, short talks at work in Part B and a longer talk in Part C.

  • Reading

    You read a full Part A, then short texts from work and a long article in Parts B and C.

It is shorter than a full test, but made to the same high standard as every Medlinga paper.
