IELTS Listening Practice Test 18

By practicing with sample questions, you can ensure a good score on this Module of the IELTS.

Did you know that questions often get repeated in the IELTS? So it is important that you practise using the questions that have already appeared in the test. Our IELTS listening practice tests are curated from previous year’s IELTS test papers, making them ideal for practice.
