IELTS Listening General Practice Test Computer Based: This is the 41^st test of our LISTENING Practice Test Series. All tests are based on real exam patterns and correspond to the actual difficulty level you may find in the Computer-based general IELTS.

This test is divided into four sections – 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Section 2 is a recorded conversation in the radio programme on Indian youth.
