IELTS Listening Section: Key Information for Academic (AT) and General Training (GT)

Overview

  • The Listening section is the same for both Academic and General Training formats.
  • Duration: 30 minutes for listening, plus 10 minutes to transfer answers to the answer sheet.
  • Total: 40 questions covering a variety of topics and listening scenarios.

Format

  • Four sections:
    1. Section 1: Conversation between two people in an everyday social context.
    2. Section 2: Monologue (e.g., a speech about local facilities or services).
    3. Section 3: Conversation between up to four people in an educational or training context.
    4. Section 4: Monologue on an academic subject (lecture or speech).

Types of Questions

  • Multiple choice, Short-answer, Form completion, Sentence completion, Map labelling, and Table/flowchart completion.
  • Questions are in the order of the audio, so it’s easier to follow.

Key Tips for Both AT & GT

  • Practice listening to different accents (British, Australian, American, etc.).
  • Read the instructions carefully to know the word limit and format of answers.
  • Use the 10 minutes wisely to transfer answers neatly and check for spelling errors.
  • Listen actively—keep track of where you are, especially during fast-paced sections.

The Listening section is challenging, but with consistent practice, you can improve your score effectively.

Computer-Based IELTS Listening Section

Overview

  • The computer-based IELTS Listening section is similar to the paper-based test but is taken on a computer.
  • Duration: 30 minutes of listening, plus 2 minutes to check and transfer answers.
  • Total: 40 questions, which are automatically saved as you progress.

Key Differences from Paper-Based Test

  • Interface: The listening track plays through headphones on the computer, with a clear visual display of the questions.
  • Navigation: You can move between questions, adjust the volume, or replay sections of the recording if needed. However, this is limited to a certain timeframe (you can’t go back after the section is finished).
  • Answering: Answers are typed directly into the computer, reducing the need to transfer from paper to answer sheet. This can speed up your process.

Format

  • Same four sections as the paper-based test, with questions presented in the same order.
  • The computer screen displays each question, and you can see the remaining time, which helps with time management.

Key Tips for Computer-Based Listening

  • Familiarize with the Interface: Take time to understand how to navigate the computer screen and adjust volume before the test.
  • Read the Questions Ahead: Use the time before each section to preview questions and anticipate possible answers.
  • Accuracy in Typing: Double-check your typed answers for spelling and accuracy, as the computer automatically saves your responses.
  • Manage Time: The countdown timer on the screen can help you stay on track during each section.

The computer-based IELTS test offers added convenience and flexibility, but the essential skills needed for the Listening section remain the same.
