Thank you for all your comments - there's a few more listenings in Flash on our myenglishexam site - they are long and hard - go to the listening link on the front? page. Your English in your messages is excellent - I'm sure you'll do very well in the Exam. Are you doing Academic or General Module, and in which country?

Sorry? I meant listening tests, starting from the most recent

I am mostly worried about the listening test since in the real situation, there is no chance of a rewind or repeating what's been said.? My initial assessment of the listening test preps is that the more recent ones are more demanding than previous ones. I feel like the bar might be set a bit high. But then again, if they are meant to be easy, what would be the purpose of studying and practicing? Much appreciated :)

A satisfied user prompts his friends to give it a try, that's how seeds prosper and also how reputations build, on the basis of positive experience. You can count me in. I have been doing only, the? speaking tests, starting from the most recent going downwards.

Thank you for your kind comments, teecee4eva. Hopefully, you will be successful on Saturday and won't have to bother about ESL4free after that. By the way, which types of exercises/movies did you find most? useful? Cheers J

Thank you for your prompt response and swift assistance. The practice tests are? very helpful, if I may add. I have an IELTS test in 2 days, and the value your videos are adding to my level of preparedness, is immeasurable. Keep up the good work :)

Hi, The correct question is the one on the movie - requiring "tongue". The one? on the PDF was not updated after we changed the question. You are right that "carried" is correct in the old PDF version. I have now updated the PDF so that it is the same as the movie. Thanks for letting us know. Good luck with your IELTS.

Number 3 on paper is different to what is on the screen of this video.I selected "Carried" but then the answer is stated? as "tongue", yet tongue is already written as part of the question. Not only is it difficult, but perceived answers are vague, please advise if we are supossed to "interpret" or "repeat" what a speaker says when filling-out the blanks.
