IELTS Listening practice tests

What the Listening test looks like

• SectionsFour, in fixed order: a conversation in an everyday context, a monologue in an everyday context, a conversation of up to four people in a study context, and an academic monologue.
• Questions40 in total, ten per section.
• AudioPlayed once only. That is the part most practice sites get wrong, and the part that decides your band.
• TimingAbout 30 minutes of audio. On paper you then get 10 extra minutes to copy answers onto the answer sheet; on computer you get 2 minutes to check.
• MarkingOne mark per correct answer. Your raw score out of 40 converts to a band — spelling and grammar count.

How to use these

Sit one paper end to end without pausing the audio. Mark it, then open the answer review and read the transcript for every question you missed — not just the answer, but the sentence that contained it. Two papers a week reviewed properly beats seven papers rushed.
