FIG 1.0 — AI tutoring agents
An AI tutor for Listening, available the moment your students need it.
The Listening agent plays exam-faithful audio once, walks students through Parts A, B and C, and turns every miss into a targeted drill — 24/7, in plain English.
FIG A — The agent
What the listening agent does
Plays it like the real thing
Audio runs once, at exam pace, with the on-screen answer sheet filling in as it plays. No scrubbing back — students rehearse the real constraint.
Explains every miss
After each attempt the agent shows where the answer was signalled in the audio, why a distractor was wrong, and the note-taking habit that would have caught it.
Builds a focused drill set
Recurring weak spots — number dictation, gist questions, speaker attitude — become short, repeatable drills the agent schedules for you.
Tutors on demand
Ask it anything mid-practice: vocabulary in a clinical extract, a phrase you missed, or how Part C differs from Part A. It answers in context.
FIG B — Format fidelity
How practice mirrors the sub-test
We match the structure, timing and on-screen behaviour of the official computer-based test so nothing on exam day is a surprise.
- Structure
- Three parts — A: consultation extracts, B: short workplace extracts, C: presentations.
- Timing
- Around 40 minutes, played continuously at exam pace.
- Playback
- Audio plays once; answers are entered as you listen, mirroring the computer-based test.
- Answer entry
- On-screen answer fields and note space, no paper.
FIG C — Feedback
What you get back
Every attempt produces structured, actionable feedback — provisional until a teacher signs it off.
- Per-part breakdown of what you caught and what slipped by.
- Transcript references pinpointing where each answer was cued.
- Distractor analysis for the questions you got wrong.
- A short, ranked list of listening sub-skills to drill next.
Honest note
The Listening agent uses original, OET-style audio and items built for practice. It does not reproduce live exam recordings, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the official test owner.
