How to correct listening/ reading?

Salut tout le monde!  :D

Je suis complètement perdue en ce qui concerne la façon dont les examinateurs corrigent la partie écoute et celle de la lecture. Mes réponses ne sont jamais les mêmes que celles qui sont les "vraies réponses"!

Voici ci-dessous un exemple de ce que j'ai écrit et les réponses au même exercice d'écoute.

Q1 Why does Mme Merri apologise? What is her excuse? (2 marks)
What I wrote: She apologises for bothering the woman so late at night.
The doctor said she could late at night if Emily had a fever.
Answers She apologises because she is ringing the doctor's late at night.
She explains that the doctor had recommended she should ring, even late, if her daughter had a fever
Q2 Who is Emilie? What is the matter with her? (2 marks)
What I wrote: She s Mme Merri's daughter
She has a fever. Her temperature was 40 degrees around 10pm, she coughs a lot and has red patches on her cheeks
Answers: She is Madame Merri's daughter
One of the following: She has a 40 degree temperature/ she coughs a lot/ she has a rash on her cheeks
Q3 What is the outcome of this phone call? (1 mark)
What I wrote: The doctor can go, and thus is going to Mme Meri's house.
Answers: The doctor will make a house-call to Madame Merri's place.

Est-ce que quelqu'un peut m'aider à comprendre comment je peux le corriger, étant donné que les réponses sont toutes différentes?

Mille mercis  :)

Hey! They are not too picky with answers, as long as you have all the key information you should get the marks. It doesn't matter if your sentence isn't 100% matching their answers. in my opinion, your answers are all correct, maybe for question 3 the word house call would be better though.

Whoops, sorry! I hit post before I finished typing... :P

The speaker said the following:
"Ah bon ? Le docteur peut venir ? Quelle chance !
... (The "..." were in the transcript, I didn't add them haha)
Il arrive ?! C'est merveilleux, je l'attends. Je vous remercie, madame. au revoir. "

As you can tell, I translated the bolded bits directly into English. So I got "The doctor can go, and thus is going to Mme Meri's place."

I didn't get "house call" from the bolded bits!  :-\

No problem:) sorry I barely go on atarnotes so I didn't see your reply! Hope this is not late. I think if they didn't say the word house call specifically, your answer should be fine! don't worry, the real exam should be more straight forward :)
