Listening

Free includes 5 listening tests for the life of the account — the same rule as Reading, and a separate count from it. Past that the track list stays visible but greyed out. Pro is unlimited. See Plans and limits.

Finding a track

The list can be filtered by question type — multiple choice, sentence completion, or matching — and by difficulty.

Sitting it

The audio plays once. There is no pause, rewind, or replay button, the same constraint the real exam sets. Questions are answered as a batch alongside it.

While you work:

  • Flag a question to come back to it. Flags are yours and are not marked.
  • Answers save as you type, debounced, never blocked by anything.
  • Leaving is safe. An attempt you have started but not submitted is still there when you come back. Starting from the list resumes it rather than beginning a second one.

How it is marked

Listening is marked by the identical pure function Reading uses, on the same Academic Reading conversion table — there is no separate Listening band table yet. See How reading is marked for exactly how that works; everything there applies here too.

The review adds one thing Reading's does not need: the transcript, so you can see what was said next to what you answered.

Content is still filling in

The catalogue of listening tracks is small while more are recorded and transcribed. A filter with nothing behind it says so rather than showing an empty list.
