The Ultimate Collection: IELTS Listening Practice Tests [With Transcripts & Answers]

These IELTS Listening practice tests are designed to closely resemble the real exam, featuring authentic audio recordings and a variety of question types. Each test includes interactive quizzes with instant feedback, allowing you to assess your performance right away.

In the IELTS Listening section, you will listen to four recordings, each with its own set of questions:

-Section 1: A conversation between two people in a social or everyday context (e.g., booking a hotel).
-Section 2: A monologue on a general topic (e.g., a talk about local events or facilities).
-Section 3: A conversation between two students discussing academic topics or coursework.
-Section 4: A monologue on an academic subject (e.g., a lecture on a scientific concept).

The test lasts approximately 30 minutes. For the paper-based test, you will have an additional 10 minutes at the end to transfer your answers to the answer sheet. For the computer-based test, you’ll input your answers directly during the test and will have 2 minutes at the end to review your responses. The questions assess your ability to understand main ideas, specific details, opinions, and more.

Our practice tests are structured to reflect the actual exam format, helping you become familiar with the tasks and improve your listening skills.
