This is because the paper-based test requires users to transfer answers to an answer sheet. This step becomes redundant when answering directly on a computer.  \n• Before the start of each part of the Listening test you will have some time to read the questions.  \n• After the end of each part of the Listening test you will have some time to review your answers.  \n• At the end of the Listening test, you will have 2 minutes to check your answers.  \nThe timing of the Listening test is between 30-34 minutes.  \n2 IELTS Focus-Listening  \nWhich IELTS is best for you?  \nPre-course Listening Assessment: Communications Studies  \nYou will hear a Communication Studies student talking to his tutor about optional courses for the next semester.
