DID YOU KNOW? Listening comprehension in major English proficiency exams

Every major English proficiency exam tests listening comprehension as a core skill. If you’re preparing for any of the following, regular practice with authentic audio and video is essential.

IELTS: The listening section runs approximately 30 minutes and includes four recordings — a social conversation, a monologue, an academic discussion, and a lecture or talk. Candidates answer 40 questions across a range of formats including multiple choice, form completion, and matching.

TOEFL iBT: The listening section presents 3–4 lectures and 2–3 conversations, each followed by questions. Lectures are especially demanding because they are delivered at near-native speed and cover academic topics.

Cambridge exams (B2 First, C1 Advanced): The listening paper runs 40 minutes and includes a range of text types — interviews, discussions, extracts from talks — with multiple choice, sentence completion, and matching tasks.

Duolingo English Test: Includes listen-and-type and dictation tasks that test both listening accuracy and processing speed under time pressure.
