Listening Test Format:- 

The test is divided into four parts and each part consists of 10 questions. You will listen to one recording and its duration will be around 35 minutes. At the end of the test, you will get 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet. You must first listen to four recordings (conversations and monologs) before responding to the questions. The recordings feature native English speakers with a range of accents. Remember that you can only listen to each recording once. 

Recording 1: You will hear a conversation set in a real-life setting or an academic topic. For example,  a college lecture. 

Recording 2: You'll hear a speech on everyday life or a social situation. For example, a discussion on the condition of the streets or a manager giving advice to its employees. 

Recording 3: You'll hear a discussion between more than two persons in a training or instructional setting. A teacher, for example, maybe discuss an assignment with students. 

Recording 4: You'll hear a monolog about any academic topic. Consider a college lecture. Strategy to improve your score: 

∙ Before the recording starts for any part, do read all the questions cautiously. This will assist with following the accounts and recognizing the appropriate responses without any problem.  ∙ When a part is finished, you can push forward and read up the questions for the following segment.  

∙ Keep in mind that you'll only hear the audio once. So don't worry if you didn't hear certain words or missed some questions! Leave them blank so you may concentrate on the actual part. If you don't go over those questions at the end of the part, you'll only miss more questions and become tangled up in the recording because, at the same time, you'll have to read, write, and listen. 

∙ You may get multiple-choice questions, where five options will be given and you have to choose two relevant answers. There will be a rundown of choices to make a pick from. It isn't required that the appropriate responses will be in the request you hear them; they may likewise be recorded sequentially.

∙ Keep in mind that each section has a word limit. Stick to the instructions if they say, "Write  no more than two words." If you write more than the allowed number of words, you may receive no credit for the attempted answer. 

∙ Keep your eyes peeled for keywords or synonyms (words that have the same or almost the same meaning as another word) in the question. This can assist in determining the correct answer. 

∙ You must be familiar with the English alphabets and how they are pronounced in questions where you must type out words spelled out in the audio. The letter ‘W,' for example, is pronounced as ‘double-u'). 

∙ Listen for terms that indicate the stage of the tape you're listening to, such as 'firstly, "my  next point,' and 'to sum up.' These words can assist you to figure out which question you've gotten to. 

∙ You can keep crossing off the possibilities that don't fit while listening to a recording. It makes it simpler to select the best alternative. 

∙ If you need to mention dates in your answer, keep in mind that there are a few different ways to do so (e.g. April 24, 24th April, and 24 April - all are correct). 

∙ If you're having problems answering a question, put it aside and go on. Don't waste your time worrying about it. Return to it later if you have time left at the conclusion. ∙ If you're taking IELTS on paper, you'll have 10 minutes after the last recording to transfer your answers from the Listening booklet to your answer sheet. It's better to transfer responses to the answer sheet after the recordings have finished (rather than in between sections), as you might lose some crucial information regarding the test's next segment. ∙ In the end, make sure that you transfer your answers in upper case or in lower case. If possible avoid cursive writing, although it is not obsolete your responses would be clear to the examiner if you will write it in upper or lower case and it's not uncommon for students to be perplexed by the enumeration! Check that your answers fit into the correct numbered space as you write them down. To put it another way, make sure that the answer to question 7 is entered into space number 7. 

∙ As erroneous responses will not result in a loss of marks, it is preferable to enter something in the answers box even if you don't know the answer. Reread the question and make an educated guess.
