What the IELTS Listening test looks like
IELTS Listening has four parts and 40 questions, and the recordings last about 30 minutes. You hear each recording only once, which is why training your concentration matters as much as your vocabulary.
The parts move from everyday conversations to academic talks. Common tasks include form completion, multiple choice, matching, and labelling a map or plan.

How to improve your Listening score
- Read the questions before the audio starts, and predict the type of word you need.
- Check the word limit. An answer with too many words is marked wrong.
- Spelling counts, so practise the common names, places and numbers that appear in Part 1.
- After each test, work out exactly why each wrong answer was wrong.

Common questions
How long is the IELTS Listening test?
The recordings last about 30 minutes. You also get a short time at the end to check or transfer your answers, depending on whether you take the test on paper or on computer.
Can I hear the recording twice in the real test?
No. In the real test you hear each recording once, so it is best to practise the same way.
Is this the official IELTS test?
No. IELTS Master is an independent practice platform. Scores here are estimates to guide your preparation, not official IELTS results.
