IELTS Listening Exam The listening section of the exam involves listening to the audio, reading the question sheet, and answering gap-fill, matching or multiple choice answers. Candidates often have difficulty with listening because the information required to answer the questions is often spoken quickly. Therefore, the key to success is relating the information that is heard on the audio to the information on the question sheet. To do this, candidates need to 4
understand the context of the situation. In other words, they need to understand what the talk is about, who is talking and why. The listening test is in four parts, with the first part being the easiest and the fourth part being the most difficult. Each part lasts for about eight minutes and includes ten questions. In total the test lasts for about thirty minutes. After this, candidates have ten minutes transfer time, when all forty answers must be written onto the final answer sheet. The first part involves a conversation between two or three people, often about buying or selling. The second part is a talk by one person about a general topic, such as a radio programme or a tour guide giving information. Part three is usually a conversation between students or university professors, in which they discuss an academic situation. Part four is an academic lecture given by one speaker. The listening section is the same for both General IELTS and Academic IELTS. Before the exam a. Practice your listening skills - Listen to news radio, podcasts and academic lectures from websites. - Try to take as many practice tests as possible so you are familiar with the timing of the test. - Try to listen for specific information such as names, places and dates. - Practice speaking English as much as you can before the exam and listen very carefully for details when someone speaks to you in English. - Watching television or movies will not give you the best practice, as you are listening and viewing at the same time. This is different to the listening skills you will need during your IELTS listening exam. b. Spelling - Try to improve your spelling by studying lists of words that are commonly misspelled. - Study the rules of capital letters and abbreviations. - Remember that spelling mistakes are marked incorrect on the test paper.
- Review grammar for singular and plural nouns, countable and uncountable nouns and parts of speech.
