Tips and Tricks for different question types
Types of questions in IELTS Listening
• Multiple choice questions

• Map Labelling questions
• Sentence Completion/Note completion/ Table completion/Diagram completion questions
• Match questions
Let’s look at the tips and tricks required to answer each question type:
Multiple Choice Questions
While listening to the audio recording there will be a section for multiple-choice questions. The multiple-
choice questions are of two types –
● Multiple choice questions with one answer.

● Multiple choice question with two or more answers
There are questions that have one or more answers, for those type of questions, you would have to
listen keenly to identify all the answers from the options given.
There are a few things you would have to keep in mind while you’re answering multiple-choice
questions:
● You will hear all the options that are given to you in the question. You would have to listen to
the audio and interpret the answer from what is asked in the question.
2
IELTSMaterial.com
● Sometimes, the answer options might be of the same kind to confuse you. For instance, it
might all be in the form of dates ( 15 November, 17 November or 18 November). You would
have to read the question and choose the correct answer.
● The words used in the question might not be the exact words that you hear in the audio
recording. So, you’d have to pay attention to synonyms and how the words are paraphrased.
● The information provided in the audio recording might not be in the same order as the
questions asked, so in order to answer the questions correctly, you should have read the
questions beforehand to be aware of what is being asked.
● There would be a lot of distractors in the audio recording. There would be a lot of the same
kind of information. Sometimes, the speaker might give us any information and then change it
which might be the correct answer. So, do not rush and write down the answer as soon as you
hear it.
Map Labelling questions
For these types of questions, you would be provided with a map and you would have to label the places
on the map.
There are two types of questions:

1. A list of words might be given to you and you’d have to listen to the recording and choose the
correct word that fits the blank on the map.
2. There won’t be a list, you would just listen to the audio and identify the place on the map.
There are a few things you would have to keep in mind while you’re answering Map Labeling questions:
● There would be directions to a place or some kind of tour.

● Read the instructions before you begin, so that you’ll know the word limit of the blanks.
● Description of the location – listen to words that best describe the location given. For
example, below the park, next to the supermarket, etc.
● Look at the question numbers – Look at the question numbers and identify the flow of the
map. That would help you listen to what’s coming next.
● The audio recording would provide you with an understanding of where you are or where you
have to begin at. Pay attention to it at the beginning of the recording. Also, listen to nearby
places and clues to help find the answers.

Sentence Completion/Note completion/ Table completion/Diagram completion
questions
In some of the questions, there will be a gap left in between and the examiner asks you to fill that gap. In
order to guess the word correctly, you must have solid grammar skills.
There are a few things you would have to keep in mind while you’re answering sentence (and other
completion) questions:
● Read the question before you start in order to understand what you should be listening for.
● Try to guess what would come in the blank. It could be a place, a number, year, name or even
a specific range of information (such as seasons, climatic conditions)
● The words in the question need not necessarily be the same words you hear in the audio
recordings, learn to tune yourself to synonyms of the words in the question.
● Though the questions might be phrased differently from the recordings, the answers should
be the exact words you hear in the audio.
● Remember to check the word count, spelling and grammar before you transfer your answers
to the answer sheet.
Match questions
These questions are not as common as the other question types but they do occur in the Listening
section. These questions have a list of statements that you’d have to match with the options provided.
Mostly it would be names, places or dates.
There are a few things you would have to keep in mind while you’re answering Match questions:
● Look at the statements and listen keenly to the kind of information that has been provided as
options. (i.e) if the options are dates, listen keenly to all the dates in the audio.

IELTSMaterial.com
● By the side, write down all the information linked to that particular option, it would make it
easier for you to find the answer.
Signposting Language
What is a signposting language?
Signposting means using phrases and words to guide the reader through the content of a passage or a
recording. In this case, it’s an audio recording. With the help of these phrases and words, the listener
can anticipate what’s next and find the answer.
Signposting examples:
Purpose Signposting language
