IELTS Listening
Multiple choice, two or more answers
Choose two or more correct options from a longer list.
Test instructions
Choose TWO letters, A–E.
What this task is
A shared list of options. Two or more are correct, and each earns its own mark. Order does not matter. C then A scores the same as A then C.
The speaker mentions every option. The correct ones are true here; the rest are mentioned, then rejected or attached to something the question did not ask.
The traps
The common mistakes in this question type. Learn to spot each one before test day.
Choose three letters where two were asked and you score zero for the group. Even if two of your three were right. This matches the real test exactly.
Every option appears in the audio by design. The task is telling apart "spoken about" and "actually true here".
What to do next time
- Read all the options in the preview. Treat each as a yes/no claim to verify.
- Mark each option as the speaker covers it. A small ✓, ✗ or ? against each letter helps you track them all.
- Count your selections before moving on. Exactly two means exactly two.
