IELTS Listening Practice Test 30

A complete 40-question IELTS Listening paper: a phone call to hire a vintage car with a driver for a wedding, a guide's introduction at a show cave, with a plan of the cave to label, two design students and their tutor on their plan for a new seafront bus shelter, and a lecture on the Lord Howe Island stick insect, an insect thought extinct for decades and found again on a sea stack. Played in sequence under exam conditions and marked the moment you hand in.

Questions: 40

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.
