The IELTS listening sections are divided into four parts. Each section has 10 questions and is heard once only totalling 40 questions for the listening test. You have time to look through the questions before you listen, and also time to check your answers after each section. The time for the test is 40 minutes. The listening takes 30 minutes, but you then have 10 minutes to answer. The listening test is the same for both IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training modules.
The only key to score 7+ in speaking is NOT to push yourself for high vocabulary words. You might have seen many of the mentors speaking about using higher vocabulary words which I feel is not necessary. To score a 7+ band in speaking, one has to practice speaking English daily and try to be as fluent as possible.
The IELTS consist of four sessions. They are Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing. There are two different IELTS modules Academic and General Training. The Speaking and Listening tests are the same in both modules, but the Reading and Writing tests are different. The general test needs to be taken by the people who are moving to English speaking country for PR or jobs. Whereas academic has to be taken by the people who are moving to English speaking country for higher studies or any other course.
