25 IELTS Listening Part 2 Practice Tests with Answers

Last updated on May 8, 2026

IELTS Listening Part 2 is a talk by one speaker in an everyday setting. You will hear a person giving a short talk, tour, announcement, or set of instructions, often at a community centre, museum, workplace event, or local facility. Common question formats include multiple choice, map and plan labelling, matching, and short-answer completion. Part 2 tests how well you can follow detail, location, and order in a non-academic setting.

This article gives you 25 IELTS Listening Part 2 audio recordings with all their questions and answers. The set is built for IELTS Academic, but Part 2 is the same in IELTS General Training, so it works for both versions. Across the 25 audios, you will get 238 sub-questions of focused practice.
