🎧 About This Listening Test

This Computer-Based IELTS Listening Practice Test 1 replicates the official IELTS CBT listening examination. It features four parts of increasing complexity covering everyday and academic contexts. Part 1 is a conversation about planning a family visit to a city. Part 2 is a monologue about visiting a football stadium. Part 3 is an academic discussion between two students on teaching handwriting to children. Part 4 is an academic lecture on research around the Chembe Bird Sanctuary.

All official question types are included: notes completion, multiple choice, matching, and choose-two. The 40-minute countdown timer mirrors the real test duration. Listen, answer, and submit to receive your estimated IELTS band score and full answer review instantly.
