IELTS Listening Practice Test 41

A complete 40-question IELTS Listening paper: a phone call to an agency to book a house-sitter to look after a house and an elderly cat, a playworker's talk to parents the evening before a new adventure playground opens, with its site plan to label, two students and their tutor on a scheme of tiny houses built beside a railway, and a lecture on the intelligence of ravens, crows and their relatives. Played in sequence under exam conditions and marked the moment you hand in.

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.
