IELTS Listening — Practice Test A

4 parts | 40 questions | The recording is played ONCE only.

The test starts with a short introduction, then the four parts play in order. The questions on screen change automatically as each part begins.
Answer while you listen. You can move between questions at any time using the numbers at the bottom of the screen.
Select any text and right-click to highlight it or add a note. Tick Review to mark a question you want to return to.
The test takes about 30 minutes. As in the real test, you have time to read the questions before each section, and time to check your answers at the end of each part. The test finishes automatically after Part 4.
Use the volume slider at the top right. Check your sound before you start.
