IELTS Actual Listening

Exam: one recording playthrough followed by a two-minute review. The recording and review pause automatically while this page is hidden.

Practice: untimed. Pause, rewind, seek or replay; check each ten-question Part when ready. Only Finish practice completes the attempt.

Guidance progresses after distinct wrong guesses: relevant context, complete key-evidence sentences, then optional answer and explanation. Repeating a guess or exceeding the word limit uses no extra stage.

Correct checked answers are locked; incorrect answers remain editable. Correct answers retain both evidence controls.

Key evidence highlights every supporting sentence. Older clips without verified sentence timings are explicitly labelled as context fallback.

Select original question or transcript text for Highlight or Note. Drag matching answers using their handle; keyboard and click-to-place also work.

Answers, flags, highlights and private notes save on this device, including notes and highlights edited after completion. Theme, font size and volume carry across listening tests in this browser.

Completed Practice offers the full transcript. Completed Exam reveals evidence only for attempted questions.
