Exam Prep — IELTS & TCF Canada

The IELTS Listening practice test on this page is one of several full official tests available for free online. I recommend that you use only official tests for exam practice as only these fully replicate the real exam paper that you will take on the day of your test. The other main source of genuine tests is the Cambridge English series of authentic exam papers. These books are excellent. Each contains four complete test papers. Make sure that the copies you buy include an audio CD for the listening test as some versions do not and you have to buy them separately. Having said all this, there are many IELTS Listening practice tests available that have been created by teachers like myself to teach you the skills needed to do well in your test and allow you to practice them. It’s fine to use these for this purpose. To get the full benefit of this practice test, complete it under exam conditions. Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Read the instructions and information first, then, start a 30 minute timer as you begin the test. I have set the test out in the 4 sections with the recordings for each section followed by the sets of questions related to that recording. At the bottom of the page, you’ll find PDF’s of the answers, a sample answer sheet and a transcript of the recording.
