This is the IELTS Listening Practice Test – 1 for 2023 Candidates from our LISTENING Practice Test Series. All tests are based on real exam patterns and correspond to the actual level of difficulty you may find in the 2022-23 IELTS exam.
This test is divided into four sections – 1, 2, 3 and 4.
- Section 1 is a conversation by a woman who is applying for her driving license.
- Section 2 is a training information talking to new staff at an airport.
- Section 3 is a reporting by two science students on their project about Tasmanian devils.
