In an IELTS listening practice test, you can typically expect to encounter a variety of question types designed to assess different listening skills. These include:
Multiple Choice Questions: You will be given a question followed by three possible answers or the beginning of a sentence followed by three possible ways to complete it. You have to choose the correct answer based on the information you hear in the recording.
Matching: This involves matching a list of items from the listening text to a set of options on the question paper. For example, you might have to match speakers to opinions or places to activities.
Plan, Map, Diagram Labeling: You will be given a visual representation, such as a plan of a building, a map, or a diagram, and you will need to label it with information you hear in the recording.
Form, Note, Table, Flow-Chart, Summary Completion: These questions require you to fill in missing information in a form, notes, table, flow-chart, or summary. The information may be in a different format from the way it is presented in the listening text.
Sentence Completion: You need to complete sentences with a word or short phrase from the recording. These questions test your ability to understand specific information.
Short-Answer Questions: You must answer questions with a word, a short phrase, or a number from the listening text. These questions typically focus on factual information.
