Cambridge IELTS Listening, one part at a time
An answer key tells you what you got wrong. It doesn't tell you what you heard instead. Each of these 333 pages takes one Cambridge listening part apart, question by question, so you can hear the trap next time.

How to use these pages
Sit the test first, with the audio, played once. Every page has a button that opens the same Cambridge test on Langujet, marked the moment you finish. Reading the explanations before you've listened is like reading the last page of a detective story first.
Then type your answers into the self-check at the top of the part and mark them. Every question number jumps to its explanation: when the answer comes in the recording, the exact words you heard, how the question paraphrased them, and the trap that was set for you.
Listening traps are said out loud
In reading, a distractor sits quietly on the page. In listening it is spoken, usually just before the answer: the time that gets changed, the option someone suggests and then rejects, the number that's corrected a second later. Most lost marks are the first thing the student heard, not the last.
That's why each explanation names the trap. Once you've seen the same move three or four times, you start hearing it coming, and that is what moves a listening band.
Section names, recordings and transcripts belong to Cambridge University Press. We publish the answers for self-marking and our own commentary, quoting only short extracts of the transcript as evidence.
Know the number. Now move it.
A conversion table tells you where you stand today. Langujet's AI marks your writing and speaking against the real rubric and tells you exactly which criterion is holding your score down.
