Part B - Audio Comprehension

Audio Comprehension bölümü sınava gireceğiniz test merkezine göre değişiklik gösterecektir.

Test merkezlerinin uyguladığı formatların içeriğine ve örnek sorulara aşağıdan erişebilirsiniz.

AEC – EPAP Formatı

  • EPAP formatında 6-7 ses kaydı yer alıyor ve her ses kaydı size sorulmadan ikişer kez dinletiliyor.
  • Ses kayıtları ATIS, Clearance, Rutin dışı durumlar, Acil durumlar ve Readback içeriyor. Hangi ses kaydından kaç tane denk geleceği sınava göre değişkenlik gösterebilir.
  • Her ses kaydından önce, size yönetilecek soruları monitörde görebiliyorsunuz. Dolayısıyla ses kayıtlarını bu sorulara odaklanarak dinlemeniz ve not almanız işinizi kolaylaştıracaktır.
  • Ses kaydı bitince examiner size bu soruları yöneltiyor. (Examiner soruları sormadan yanıtlamamanız isteniyor.)
  • Examiner, kayıtlarla ilgili soru sormanın dışında kayıtta söylenenleri tekrar etmenizi de isteyebilir. (“Can you please readback the audio?” diye sorabilir.)
