In light of the high-stakes nature of IELTS, the Test Partners ¡V British Council, IELTS Australia Pty Ltd and University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations - are committed to providing appropriate public access to a wide range of information about the test. This section of the website provides information of direct interest to two key stakeholder groups - Teachers and Researchers.
The use of IELTS as a benchmarking tool for English language proficiency has grown substantially around the world. Education institutions, professional bodies, government departments and employers in approximately 40 countries now recognise the test as one of a suite of entry requirements. This rapid uptake has led to increased demand for IELTS preparation services for candidates. The IELTS Test Partners recognise the effect of this growth on practicing ESOL teachers and have introduced a site designed to support teachers of IELTS preparation classes.

IELTS Listening
The listening part of the test is the first you will encounter. It is divided into four sections with increasing difficulty. The main problem is that you will be allowed to listen to the cassette just once. Usually you have to write something you hear (a telephone number, an address, a name, etc.). Some questions are multiple choice. The total number of questions you have to answer is 40. More than 30 anwers right means a good mark, but sometimes you may get an acceptable mark even with 27 or 28 correct answers. The first suggestion is the following: write the answers as you hear them. Waiting could be a mistake because later you will not to remember the answer, particularly if you have to write something, and you won't get the chance to listen to the same piece again. You will have the chance to read the following questions before listening each section. Use this chance: in this way you will be able to concentrate your attention just to the part you are interested in. In fact you do not have to understand everything if you want a good mark. You need to understand just what answers you have to give. Do not lose time trying to understand everything. You always have to know what question you are waiting for: when you hear the answer write it at once or, if you do not understand it, start reading the next question and waiting for the answer.
At the end of the listening test you will have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet: use those minutes to complete the answer sheet and try to write something in all the 40 spaces even if you are not sure of the correct answer. A wrong answer is as wrong as no answer: so try! You could be lucky!
