About this Listening test

“Riverside Sports Centre Membership Enquiry” is an original IELTS Listening practice test in the style of Part 1 with 9 questions (Form Completion, Note Completion, Multiple Choice and Sentence Completion). Play the recording, answer as you listen, then submit to have every answer marked instantly and read the transcript.

Part 1 is a conversation between two people in an everyday situation — booking a taxi, joining a gym, arranging a delivery. You answer 10 questions, almost always form, note or table completion, by catching specific details: names, spellings, phone numbers, dates, prices and addresses.

How to approach it

  • Use the preparation time to read every gap and predict what each answer will be: a name, a number, a day of the week, an amount of money.
  • Note the word limit on the instructions — writing "the 14th of June" where "ONE WORD AND/OR A NUMBER" is allowed throws away a mark you actually heard.
  • Common trap: The correction trap: a speaker gives a detail, then changes it ("let’s say Tuesday — actually, Wednesday is better"). The corrected version is the answer, and Part 1 does this constantly.
