IELTS LISTENING TEST HINTS

BE READY TO LISTEN

Remember that the listening part of the IELTS test is the same for Academic and General Training Module candidates.

IELTS Listening

In the IELTS listening test, there are 4 sections, and each is treated separately and played once only. The moment you hear the words "Section 1", "Section 2" etc. you should:

• be prepared and ready to listen for the instructions that are given
• listen for details about the information contained in the coming passage, (e.g. who? what? where? when? why?)

👉 How to prepare for IELTS Listening test?

First, check where the questions are located on the pages in the section to be heard. 
In the short time given to you before the listening passage begins, which is usually only about ten, twenty or thirty seconds at most, you should do your best to predict what you will hear.

When the conversation, interview or lecture begins, 
the first item to listen for is the example.

Sometimes, the example is heard first and then again when the passage is played in full; in other IELTS Listening Tests, it is heard once only.
