Audio Typing Test

Listen to a simulated 999 ambulance, NHS 111 or fire call and log the key information in real time. Original practice for the listening and typing skills control rooms assess, not any employer's actual test.

How it works

→You'll hear a recorded 999 or 111 call. Turn your sound up or use headphones
→Type what you hear: names, addresses, symptoms, hazards and callback numbers
→You can keep typing after the call ends — click Next when you're done
→Your log is scored against key information points
→A model control room log is shown so you can see what to aim for

Note: The calls are recordings, so they play on any phone or computer. You can replay a call if you miss something.

About the Audio Typing test

The audio typing test plays a simulated 999 or NHS 111 call aloud and asks you to log the key information in real time: the caller's name, the address, what has happened, and anything that affects the response.

It measures listening accuracy and typing speed together, reflecting the live demands of a control room where you type while the caller is still speaking. This free demo plays a short sample ambulance call so you can practise capturing the details that matter. The full version plays 5 calls per attempt from a bank of 16 across ambulance, NHS 111 and fire.

This is a free sample of our audio typing practice test. Browse all the free demos or get full access for £14.99 to practise the complete question banks with no limits.

999ready is independent and not affiliated with any ambulance service, NHS 111 provider or fire and rescue service. Our questions are original practice, not any employer's actual test.
