20 May or 21st of May?

by natka

Hi,

I wrote "21st of May" in my listening practice test. However, in the answer key was "21 May", and it was said that my answers should be the exact match.

What's wrong with "21st"? Will it be considered an error in a real test?

Hello,

In Listening test, for example:

- 11th April
- 11 April
- 30.04
- 04.30

Which of them is considered to be correct?

Actually, when I simply write 11 April without 'th',the answer is 30th April. Could you please clarify when to write with or without 'th'?

Thanks in advance,

Aysel Aliyeva

Do I use percentage sign in answers?

by Mary

Hi guys!

Confused about what to fill in when percentage signs or something else are already given.

For example, a pie chart is given where the percentage signs area already there but you have to listen for the numbers.

Do I fill in just the number on my answer sheet or both the number and the percentage sign?

Thanx!

Are times words or numbers?

by Abbos-Ali
[Uzbekistan]

I would like to ask a question on IELTS Listening.

In instructions it is written that "No more than 3 words".

And the correct answer is "4.30 pm to 5 pm".
If I count correctly there are 2 numbers and 3 words in the answer. Am I right?

But in instructions there was no any point about numbers!!

6 or 6pm?

by Malakin

I took the IELTS test yesterday, and I got a little bit confused during the Listening part.

I was allowed to write 'One Word And / Or one Number' and one question was about writing a time. The speaker said that her store closes at 6. So I wrote exactly as I heard '6'.

Is it a correct answer? Or Should I have written it '6:00' or '6:00 PM'?

Thank you

Writing times in IELTS

by George

I have searched many official practice tests [and the Road to IELTS tests] and I have found a huge inconsistence on the way they demand how the time is written.

Everywhere on the question they write it as "9.30am" without a space, even in the audioscripts. On the answer, though, they expect only "9.30 am" with a space, even if in the audio there is no "am" following the number.

On the other hand, sometimes they say the "am" but the answer is correct even with only the number, just "9.30".

I will be giving the CD IELTS test, which is automated. Should I always write the "am" with a space in-between?

Writing dates in IELTS listening

Does the wording of the answers matter?

For example i was doing an online listening test and one of the answers was April 18th, but I put 18th of April and got it wrong. Also another was three days and i put 3 days instead. The requirements was under three words so it wasn't that.
