IELTS Listening Form Completion: Practice and Answers

Listen for personal details, dates and corrections in a practical conversation. Do not preserve the first number after the speaker changes it.

Original LingoLeap mini-exercise with synthesized English audio. It is shorter than an IELTS section and is not an official exam item or full practice test. Updated 4 October 2026.

Form Completion listening practice exercise

Read the questions first. Listen once without opening the transcript, write your answers, then check the explanations. Replay afterwards to identify what you missed. In the real IELTS test you hear each recording once.

Write ONE WORD AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.

Enter answers here as you listen. Your entries stay in this tab and are not saved or submitted. For letter questions, enter the letter only. The checker ignores case and extra spaces, but not extra words or different spellings.

After listening, check your answers and review the evidence. Without JavaScript, use the answer key below.

How to answer IELTS Listening form completion questions

  1. Predict the answer type from each form label.
  2. Write spelled names carefully and distinguish similar numbers.
  3. Follow the word limit instead of copying the entire sentence.

Review the evidence, not just your score

For each mistake, locate the exact phrase in the transcript and decide whether you lost the answer through vocabulary, a changed decision, spelling or the instructions. Replay that phrase with the transcript, then listen again without it. Repeating an answer you now remember is not the same as understanding a new recording; use a different question type next.

Practice audio transcript

Open the transcript for review or accessible reading

I would like to book a place on the pottery course. My surname is Parker, spelled P A R K E R. I live at number fourteen on Brook Street, not forty; people sometimes mix those up. I would prefer the morning group. My contact number is zero seven seven two, four six eight, nine one zero. Please use my mobile rather than the office number. I will pay the deposit on Friday. The rest of the fee can wait until the first class.

Make the next attempt count

  1. Write down the words that support each missed answer, not just the correct answer itself.
  2. Replay the recording while reading the transcript. Notice the correction or paraphrase you missed.
  3. Close the transcript and replay once. Check whether you can now hear the evidence.
  4. Try a different exercise to test the skill on unfamiliar content. This recording alone cannot establish exam readiness.
