IELTS Listening

Guide topics
Same guide for Academic & General Training

Coming soon

Full audio practice tests are on the way

Since Listening is the one IELTS module identical for both Academic and General Training, this section will hold shared practice tests with real recordings, once audio production is ready. The Guide tab above already covers the exact format, timing and question types you'll meet on test day.

Why these open in a new tab. These are the exam board's own official pages and documents, not something we host or reproduce. We link straight to the source rather than copying it in, so you always see the current, authoritative version.
