A quick look at the IELTS Listening test
The Listening test is the same for both IELTS Academic test and IELTS General Training test. You will need to answer 40 questionsin response to four recordings.
You will listen to four recordings which are a mix of monologues and conversations from a range of native speakers and you will only hear each recording once. There are 10 questions for each part of the Listening test.
These questions test your ability to understand:
A conversation between two people set in an everyday social context.
A monologue set in an everyday social context, e.g., a speech about local facilities.
A conversation between up to four people set in an educational or training context, e.g., a university tutor and a student discussing an assignment.
