Module format
IELTS Listening has four sections, each with 10 items (or questions). Each item is worth one mark. The items are designed so that the answers appear in order in the listening passage. During the test, time is given for candidates to read the questions and write down and check their answers. Answers are written on the Question Paper as candidates listen. When the tape ends, ten minutes are allowed for candidates to transfer their answers onto an Answer Sheet.
The table below provides a summary of IELTS Listening.
| SECTION | Topic Area | Input | Main Skill Focus | Number of Questions |
| 1 | Social needs | Conversation with a transactional purpose e.g. finding out about travel services | Listening for and noting specific factual information | 10 |
| 2 | Social needs | Monologue or prompted monologue with a transactional purpose e.g. giving information about a public event | Listening for and noting specific factual information | 10 |
| 3 | Education and training | Discussion between 2 ? 4 people in an academic context, e.g. tutorial or seminar | Following a conversation which involves negotiation of meaning. Listening for specific information, attitudes, and speakers' opinions | 10 |

Listening texts
The first two sections are concerned with social needs. There is a dialogue between two speakers, for example a conversation about travel arrangements, and then a monologue, for example a recording about museum opening times.
The final two sections are concerned with situations related more closely to educational or training contexts. There is a conversation between up to four people, for example a conversation between a tutor and a student about an assignment, and then a further monologue, for example a lecture of general academic interest.
Task types
A variety of task types is used. The principal task types are:
| Task Type 1 | Forms/Notes/Table/Flow-chart/Summary Completion |
| Task Type 2 | Multiple Choice |
| Task Type 3 | Short-answer Questions |
| Task Type 4 | Sentence Completion |
| Task Type 5 | Labelling a Diagram/Plan/Map |
| Task Type 6 | Classification |
| Task Type 7 | Matching |
Each section is played ONCE only. The recordings include a range of accents, including British, Australian, New Zealand and American.
