Free IELTS Dictation Practice, by Month

Dictation — listening to a stretch of real exam audio and writing exactly what you hear — is the fastest way to convert passive listening into an active band-score skill. It forces you to catch function words, verb endings, and plurals that skimming for gist misses, and every gap it reveals is a specific, fixable habit rather than a vague "improve listening" goal.
