Two IELTS test takers from Saudi Arabia and Iran shared their questions – thanks, R.E. and G.B! It seems as though the two exams were the same. Here is what they remembered:

Listening test

Part 2. About a city and forests. Why this city is unique, its problem with soil, the factors to be considered by inhabitants of city.
Questions: Multiple choice, map labelling. We were given a map of the area and we had to choose locations for different plants.

Passage 3. About people who have hearing disabilities. The relationship between language and music, for example, if they can sing or understand intonation, how their brains work, it is considered as a disorder, etc.

Writing test

Writing task 1 (a report)

We were given a line graph describing the production of electricity and energy from 4 different natural resources (coal, oil, natural gas and nuclear energy) between 1996 and 2006 in the UK.

Writing task 2 (an essay)

In some countries, there is not enough medical and educational facilities in rural areas. Some people believe newly graduated teachers and doctors should be sent to rural areas to work for some time, while others suggest that people should be free to choose a place to work.

Discuss both views and give your opinion.

– Why is it important for you to have this job?
– Why do you think this is the best job for you?

Part 3 (Discussion)
