Speaking: 11-15 minutes
The listening and speaking module is the same for both academic and general while the reading and writing modules are different for both academic and general.

Tips for IELTS Listening section

BE A MULTITASKER

Being a multitasker means you must be able to read the questions, listen to the audio and at the same time write down the answer.

BE CAREFUL

You need to be careful about the instructions. For example, “No more than two words” or “Just a number”, so you need to be specific about the answer.

KEEP FOCUSED

Sometimes recording might be tricky and you will hear extra information, specifically in MCQs. So you only need to focus on the answer.

CONCENTRATE

Sometimes, If you miss the answer, jump on to the next question. So try to concentrate because 30 minutes is really difficult to actively listen to the answers.

DO CHECK SPELLING AND GRAMMAR

If your spelling is incorrect, you can lose the marks. So focus on the Spelling and Grammar for the last 10 minutes, while transferring the answers to the answer sheet.
