I scored 37. What would be my band score for that?
It’s Flange.
Question 22: the instructions state write no more than three words, however, the answer is said to be 300 million. Can this be correct though because 300 is actually a number and the instructions don’t permit the use of numbers? It states three words. (not and or numbers)
Got 36/42… need more practice.
Turn the volume up.
29. slang or flang?
Hi there, the audio link seems to be removed. Can I have the link?
Where is the audio file? Please help?!!!
Where can I find the audio files… Please help me…
Hi, please could I get an audio file, please? Thank you very much.
Why there is no audio or any link? How am I suppose to practise without it?
Can I get the audio link?
Can I get the audio of this test?
How can we get the audio?
Hi Team, thank you very much for putting together this wonderful website. I gave 3 Sample tests yesterday and audio links were working fine. Today Audio Links are not working. It will be great if you can provide the alternative links. Appreciate your efforts to put together all study material.- ThanksShreya.
I am unable to access the audio link on any of the listening samples. Can someone tell me how to do that?
Can I get the audio link, please?
Please, I am unable to get the audio link. How do I get it?
“C” is the correct answer because as per the audio, if you go straight up the steps, turn left and the building is on the right. So when you turn left from stairs, now you need to turn right, which indicated that the building is on the another side of that road.
7.5 of 9, which is very good.
I’ve written ‘D’ too. 🙁
Can someone explain to me the answer to the 1st question? I think the answer is ‘D’ NOT ‘C’, because you go straight up the steps, turn left and the building is on the right? Is it okay?
I have done this exercise. Can someone explain me the answer to the 1st question? I scored 35.
I got 36 out of 42. What band did I score?
It’s really helpful.
You made almost the same mistakes that I did. It was the accent that we did not get. Should focus on that as well.
It is very helpful. Thanks.
I can’t play the audio.
But where is the audio, dude???
I got only 36, was confused with Hope Street wrote hot street and Waraterh Road, 26 wrote sticker, 28 wrote dough, 29 lid, 30 wrote flange and at the last 36 wrote mental practice. It was fun doing an exercise.
It was a fun exercise but too hard.
How did you get the audio link?
Can I have the recording of this listening sample, please?
I have got 37/42. In the aluminium diagram, the top-left 26 is actually a ’31’.
One of the best IELTS related websites. It’s really helpful 🙂
In the aluminium can diagram, 31 and 26 are given two times. There is a confusion. Please clear it.
Where is 31?
Let me know about your email id. I will send it to you dear.
Helps a lot.
Thanks, IELTS mentor. This is the best website for the IELTS review online. I really love it and it helps me a lot in achieving my target score in IELTS. Thank you, everyone, so much.
It is literally at the top of the page.
When will my essay be estimated? I wrote it a few days ago but the reply didn’t appear in my e-mail.
Thanks for providing listening materials. It helps in my IELTS study. I love ielts-mentor.com.
It is good for IELTS students.
Bro, if you add the streaming audio file that will better for every learner. So add audio files for the listening section.
Please provide the listening tape/audio so that we can prepare for the Listening section of the IELTS exam. Thanks for the samples on listening anyway.
Can I get the audio link? Not really able to make use of listening section otherwise, no audio means that this section can not be used.
How are we supposed to answer the questions without the audio?
Can I get the audio link?
