Free Listening Section practice tests
The Speaking section of the test is the same for both IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training. Our free practice tests for the Listening section are split into 3 parts, as they will be when you take IELTS.
In the first section of the practice test, you will answer questions about yourself and your family. In the second part, you will speak about a specific topic provided by the IELTS examiner. The third part of the practice test is a longer discussion about the topic introduced in part 2.
