Do we have headphones in the IELTS listening test?
For the listening task do I get individual head-phone or do I listen from a common place - Like Radio? What will happen if I have hearing problem?
Headphones or Speakers
by Petrelli
If anyone could tell me how the listening module is conducted for British Council, I will be extremely grateful. Will we have headphones or will it be played on a speaker?

Hi everyone,
I am taking my general IELTS on Saturday this week.
However, I am wondering if my listening will be in a Canadian accent dialog. Anyone has any idea for me?

Hello!
During my preparation to listening section I have met the word "center(re)". What is the difference between them? Are both correct if I will write any of them on answer sheet?
'z' or 's'

I'd like to ask which spelling (organization or organisation) is correct in IELTS, as at the listening test I wrote the answer with 's' and I wonder if it is going to be ok.
Filling in Two Gaps
by Gabriele
(UK)
Hi,
I have a question about the answer sheet. I had my exam yesterday and in the listening and reading tests there were two blank spaces for one answer.
One question was about meters and it said:
"It should be between ... and ... meters high"
And another one about tools:
"They were made of ... and ...".
When transferring my answers to the answer sheet I separated both of the numbers and words with a slash:
"10 / 15"
"stone / wood".
Was I wrong for using a slash?
What should we use to separate two words?
Question Order in IELTS Listening
by Jul
Hi, are the questions in the same order as they get played. What I mean by this, is if the answer to question 2 comes always after question 1, and the answer to question 3 after question 2, and so on.
Marking of the IELTS Listening Test
by Ehsan
(Riyadh)
Hello Everyone,
Hope you guys are doing well, I will be taking my IELTS test in January, so I am in my preparation zone. Right now, I am concentrating in Listening and Reading sections, so I have a few questions:
1) How are IELTS Reading and Listening sections marked? By computer? I mean do all the answers need to be exact? For example, If the answer for one of the Listening question is "The textbooks", but if I wrote only "Textbooks" - is this wrong!?
2) Lastly, currently I am scoring within 29-35 in Reading, and 30-37 in Listening, with time pressured. Is this good start for practice?
Regards

In the listening the speaker mentioned that the interview was beside the library and in the answer booklet it was written:
"the interview next to ......."
Should I write "the library" or "library"?
