This is the Listening section of the Rosemounts IELTS CBT Mock Series™. You will hear four sections of audio, played back to back, totalling around 30 minutes. There are 40 questions in all.
Section 1 — a phone conversation about joining a sports centre
Section 2 — a talk about a community garden
Section 3 — a tutorial discussion about a research project
Section 4 — a lecture on urban beekeeping
How it works
The audio will start automatically when you begin the test and plays only once — you cannot pause, rewind, or replay any part of it. This mirrors the official IELTS test.
You can answer questions and change your answers while the audio is playing and during the built-in pauses between sections.
At the end of Section 4, you will have 2 minutes to review your answers before the test is submitted.
Use the question palette at the top to jump between questions. Flag any you want to come back to.
Do not switch tabs or applications — leaving the test window is logged.
Check your audio works before you start
Click play. You should hear a short welcome message from Rosemounts in the narrator's voice. Adjust your headphones/speakers to a comfortable volume. You will not be able to change anything once the test starts.

Terms & Conditions
You get one scored attempt at this test. After that the player opens in study mode (review only — no new band).
This is an independent practice mock by Rosemounts Institute — not affiliated with or endorsed by IDP, the British Council, or Cambridge. Band scores are estimates.
Your email is used to send your Test Report Form; your answers and result are stored so your score can be re-checked.
You can raise a dispute from your Test Report Form for 15 days after the attempt.
For test integrity, tab switches and leaving the test window are logged.
Every question is shown below with your answer, the correct answer, why it's correct, and what listening skill that question tests. Use this to study where you went wrong — the explanations point to exact lines from the audio.
