  • The IELTS Listening Exam assesses a candidate's ability to understand spoken English in various contexts. The test consists of four sections, each featuring a different listening scenario, ranging from everyday conversations to academic lectures. As the sections progress, they become increasingly challenging, introducing different accents and speaking speeds.

    Candidates listen to various materials and answer 40 questions, utilising various formats such as multiple choice, short answers, and map labelling. The test lasts approximately 30 minutes, followed by 10 minutes to transfer answers to the answer sheet.

  • IELTS Listening test has 4 parts including 10 questions in every part. Part one and two of the test includes everyday social situations whereas part three and four includes educational situations. The questions are in sequence as the information provided in the recording, therefore, the answer for the first question will be before the second.
