IELTS Listening Practice Test 51

A complete 40-question IELTS Listening paper: a phone call to arrange for a grandfather's garage full of old furniture and junk to be cleared, a manager's talk before a show at an open-air theatre in an old quarry, with its plan to label, two students and their tutor on how students use the quiet zones of a university library, and a lecture on the pigeons that carried messages in wartime. 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.
