We want you to do well in your test. To help you get ready, here are some sample tests for the General Training test.
Listening and Speaking tests are the same for IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training, but the Reading and Writing tests are different.
With these official practice materials you can:
- get used to the test format
- experience the types of tasks involved
- test yourself under timed conditions
- review your answers and compare them with model answers.
The Listening test is the same for both IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training and consists of four recorded monologues and conversations.
The following IELTS Listening sample tasks are to be used with the Answer Sheet and MP3 audio files and/or transcripts. Each answer sheet indicates which recording to listen to, or if a transcript is provided.
What’s in the IELTS Listening paper?
The paper has four parts, with 10 questions in each part. The questions are in the same order as the information in the recording, so the answer to the first question will be before the answer to the second question, and so on.
Parts 1 and 2
Deals with everyday, social situations.
- There is a conversation between two speakers in Part 1 (for example, a conversation about travel arrangements).
- Only one person speaks in Part 2 (for example, a speech about local facilities).
Parts 3 and 4
Deals with educational and training situations.
- In Part 3 there is a conversation between two main speakers (for example, two university students in discussion, perhaps guided by a tutor).
- In Part 4 only one person speaks on an academic subject.
You will hear the recordings once only. Different accents, including British, Australian, New Zealand and North American, are used.
You will need to transfer your answers to an answer sheet. You will have 10 minutes at the end of the test to do this. You should be careful when writing your answers on the answer sheet because you will lose marks for incorrect spelling and grammar.
Summary
- Time allowed: Approximately 30 minutes (plus 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet)
- Number of parts: 4
- Number of questions: 40
- Marking: Each correct answer receives 1 mark. Your final score is given as a band score in whole or half bands, e.g. 5.5 or 7.0.
