IELTS Listening: 3 useful websites

Here are 3 useful websites for IELTS listening practice. Click on the titles.

• Spelling Practice - If you have a problem with spelling, try this website. Choose a topic and take a spelling test. Part 3 of each test is probably the best (parts 1 and 2 might be too easy).

• Listening and Reading - This is not an IELTS website, but it's full of short texts that you can read and listen to at the same time. This could be a good way to work on your pronunciation (American English) and to extend your vocabulary.

• IELTS Tests - A website for test practice (click login as a guest to do the free tests).

Thanks for sharing those websites. I just tried the IELTS Test website(the last one). Personally, I think its a little faster than real test and some of the answer formats are slightly different than real ielts test.
Am I right?

Dear All,

The British Council website is one that many students are not aware of and that it provides all kinds of useful materials for reading and listening practice. Here are just 2 examples of what you can find and use: http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/ielts-mock-papers & http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/magazine

Have fun and try to enjoy the learning process!!!

Cheers,
Martin

Hello!!
I just have a question.
I took a speaking test today.
In part 2, topic was tell me about a product that you weren't satisfied.
I didn't realise that I was speaking off topic because I talked about a mobile phone that I was satisfied.
Finally, the examiner asked me was there anything that you complained about it.
In this case, do you know how much score it will be??
I need minimum 6.....
