When does IELTS listening begin? How long does IELTS listening last

Students taking the IELTS test for the first time may wonder when the listening test starts and how long it lasts. Because IELTS listening is only played once, it requires high concentration in the process. If you don't adjust your work and rest in advance, you will end up suddenly sleepy.

Generally speaking, the IELTS listening test will officially start at 8:58. But the specific time is controlled by the invigilator, and it is possible to do it earlier or later. Don't worry if you are a few minutes late. Later examination subjects will be postponed in turn. However, people did not enter the examination room at the beginning of the exam. The official requirement of IELTS is to enter the examination room at 8:30 at the latest. After entering the classroom, IELTS cannot go out again from the old roast duck. Therefore, there will be at least ten minutes of waiting time. You can take advantage of this time to close your eyes a little bit, but don't fall asleep. At around 8:45, the invigilator will start to distribute earphones and audition. Answering cards will be distributed around 8:50.

Once listening recording starts, it will not stop. The whole listening test will last about 40 minutes. The first 30 minutes are for listening while doing questions, while the last 10 minutes are for you to fill out the answer cards. It should be noted that once the time is up, stop writing immediately. If you continue to write, there are two possibilities: one is to be warned once and make a record (you will be expelled from the examination room twice); The other is that the invigilator will take the eraser to erase the content you just wrote. And in most cases, they will wipe more. So please don't take this risk.
