Where is the audio?
Audio is unavailable. Please send me the audio files on my email id – upadhyer33ma@gmail.com
Hi Meghan, did you get any audio yet?
The answer to question 3 is – 15 Riverside. Does anybody feel the same?
Can I write down all answers in capital letters?
In part 1, only one word or number is used, so how can we write the answer to question number 4 “2 weeks”? Kindly resolve my issue and clear my doubt.
The question instruction says “Write ONE WORD AND/ OR A NUMBER for each answer.”, which means you have to answer using one word, but you can use a number in addition to that. This is why ‘2 weeks’ is correct but ‘two weeks’ is not. Explanation: ‘2 weeks’ = one word AND a number, but ‘two weeks’ = two words.
[quote name=”Chintan”][quote name=”Kat”]Does it matter if I write “two weeks” instead of “2 weeks”? I get confused by this because, in some answer keys, it spells the number but in some, it doesn’t?[/quote] Anything you write 2 weeks or two weeks, it is 2 words but instruction says only word/number. Sometimes I have a doubt about answers suggested by this website.[/quote]It says one word “AND/OR” number. Hence ‘2 weeks’ is correct as it has one word AND one number but ‘two weeks’ is wrong as it has 2 words.
Hi Abhie, I also wrote this, but I think we should write concerts because live music is sort of concerts.
Yes, it should be download from… or the departmental store can be correct if the internet is given with separate bullet point.
where is the audio??????????Help, please.
Please add answer explanation for all of us.

Sir, for question 33, why is the answer ‘A’ and not ‘B’?
I need to open the audio to hear the file.
Hey, how to pdf download?
36 correct answers without lying.
Hey, dude. The answer is in the singular form- which is ‘mother’.
Hey, it’s not ‘mothers’. The answer should be ‘mother’ – in the singular form.
Video/audio is not working.
How can I listen to the audio?
How can I get the audio work? Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
How can I get the audio work? Need help, please!
All the audio clips have been deleted. Is there any way to get them?
Hi, can I ask your assistance, please? How can I play the audio? Really want to try this out… 🙂 Thank you.
Hi! There is a problem with the listening audio… It’s not playing… Any suggestions? Thanks! 🙂
Please, let me know how I can play audios.
Should be age groups. I answered age groups. The student told the other one that most of his music is the same with his female friends. So they agreed to use “age group” instead of the gender.
Yes, should be downloaded from here. It won’t make sense if “Department stores from the internet?”
I also answered letter B.
How to download listening audio from this website?
I think number 28 is “download from”.
There seems to be no tapescript for Sample 10!
Spelling mistakes- is it too important? Example, if one letter extra or missing from a word how would it affect the band score? Can anyone answer?
I agree, but I answered “mother”.
The answer to the question 7 is ‘Mothers’ and not ‘month’. His mother’s name is only Siti.
Hi, 27th question’s answer is “concert” or “concerts”? I feel the correct answer is ‘concert’ because in the options CD, TV etc. are given in the singular form. So the answer should also be in a singular form.
Why is the answer to the question 13 ‘C’ (a typical building of the region.)? I heard the audio thrice now, it has to be “B” – a way to escape from his work.
I also wrote “telephoning” in 22 whereas the answer is “telephone interviews”.
I wrote “live music” in 27. Would it be wrong as the answer is “concerts”?
Name of his ( month ): SitiI think that’s MOTHER.
I’ve been trying to practice the listening test on YouTube, the ones you have got here and those on YouTube differ in complexity. On YouTube’s I could get only 25 of 40, these on your website, I get 40. So, which one will be on the actual test?
Unless the instruction is given for using a number, you can write either one. Both will be considered as correct answers.
Does it matter if I write “two weeks” instead of “2 weeks”? I get confused by this because, in some answer keys, it spells the number but in some, it doesn’t?
It is MOTHER only, I completely agree with Dmitry. Please correct it.
It is male and female only.
The answer to the Q. 7 is not ‘month’, but ‘mother’ and 24 should be age groups and not male and female.
The answer to the question 7 is not ‘month’ but ‘mother’. Please correct it. And the answer to the question 24 is ‘age groups’, I guess.
You can easily find them in Cambridge IELTS Book 6, test 3. Good luck.
Can I get the transcripts for this sample? Thanks.
