Please check out the listening audio, it's not working.
Rutu 5 years 5 months
For Q.11, the answer is B and not A since the speaker in the audio clearly states that the Box Office has its own separate entrance at 8:51 in the YouTube video. I am not sure if these answers are confirmed by IELTS officials.
Afshin Hasanpor 5 years 8 months

Mira 8 years 1 month
Hi! Can someone please answer my question concerning the listening part?What if I put in the answer sheet just "40" but do not complete it as "40 schools"? - Would that be considered a mistake? Or also for example, if I put just the word "research" which is the correct one but do not add the word "advanced" which is also correct basically meaning that these are two correct answers and I just put in the answer sheet one of them? Thanks in advance.
Maria 8 years 2 months
Could the answer to question 4 be just 'bar'?
Caio 8 years 2 months
That's a tough listening practice! I have scored 6 in this one... =(
Tara 8 years 2 months
Q - 36. Can it be "lived"?
Priyanka 8 years 3 months
Could the answer to Q. 35 be the UK in place of England? Or does it have to be the exact word used in the audio? Also, in Q. 7, is am/pm optional or mandatory?
Alfred 8 years 3 months
It should not be incorrect, Ferid.
Ferid 8 years 3 months
Hi, is it incorrect to write 'restriction' instead of 'restrictions'? Thanks.
Yoyo 8 years 6 months
Hi, can the answer to Q. 36 be "lived"?
Mauro 8 years 10 months
Hi, for the question number 2, is SWIMMING POOL incorrect? Thinking about facilities I reckon that it suits better than only SWIMMING. Thanks.
IELTS Mentor 8 years 10 months
The answers for 11-16 questions should be in exact orders as they are given in the answer section. However, the answers for 38-40 could be written in any order. Hope that clarifies your doubt.
Shofalicious 8 years 10 months
Are the numbers 11-16 and 38-40 can be interchanged? I'm confused or only 38-40? There should be a guideline for this... Thanks a lot for your response in advance.
