PET PAPER 2: LISTENING

The paper contains 4 parts. Candidates will have about 30 minutes to complete them, plus 6 minutes to transfer answers. Each text is heard twice. Recordings will contain a variety of accents corresponding to standard variants of native-speaker accents.

Each item carries one mark. This gives a total of 25 marks, which represents 25% of total marks for the whole examination.

These are the four parts in detail:
