For general IELTS it was a bit hard , for Academic IELTS , that was normal . I’ve scored 8 , the only things needed are Focus & 100% attentiveness ! Hope everyone will get a desirable grade !

it was difficult

Good quality

It is not similar to IELTS listening test and Cambridge books, it was so difficult

It’s very difficult, it’s not like a language test, it’s more like an intelligence and elite test, and you expect a lot from the language learner because the level of the questions and the design of the questions are very complex, and even native speakers can’t answer them, as if we have to memorize the voice to answer them.

scored 32 🙁

it was very difficult and out of reach.
