Online IELTS Listening Test Practice

These pages provide you with IELTS listening test practice with a number of online tests.

Use these to practice and prepare yourself for the test.

In the test there are four sections, and each one is more difficult than the last so you will find the test gets harder as it goes on.

In the test you can write on the question sheet and you then have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.

Start the Test

This is what you will hear at the start of the test:

You will hear a number of different recordings and you have to answer questions on what you hear. There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you have a chance to check your work.

All the recordings will be played once only. The test is in 4 Sections. At the end of the test you will be given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answersheet.

Changes from January 2020

Also, 'sections' are now called 'parts' and references to page numbers are not give.
