IELTS Listening Practice Test 11

A complete 40-question IELTS Listening paper: a phone call to a tree surgeon about work on a garden's trees, a talk at the open evening of a library that lends tools and equipment instead of books, two media students planning a presentation on subtitles and dubbing with their tutor, and a lecture on the invention of the barcode and why it took so long to reach the supermarket checkout. Played in sequence under exam conditions and marked the moment you hand in.

Questions: 40
Time: About 33 min

How should it play?

Exam conditionsPlays once, start to finish, on the real test's timeline: time to read before each part, half a minute to check after it, two minutes at the end. No pause, no rewind.PracticePause, rewind and play a part again as much as you like, read the script as it is spoken, and check your answers as you go. The clock counts up rather than down, and nothing is handed in for you.

The recording sets the pace from the moment you press the button. Nothing plays until you have had time to read.
