Disappointed with IDP IELTS Listening…
Disappointed with IDP IELTS Listening Experience I recently took my IELTS exam with IDP and was extremely disappointed with the listening test setup. Unlike what I was used to during practice, IDP played the listening audio through loudspeakers instead of providing headphones. This made it very difficult to hear and understand properly, especially since I had practiced using headphones. Because of this, my listening score suffered—I got only 5.5 in listening, even though I scored 7 in speaking, 7 in reading, and 6.5 in writing. I lost money and now have to reappear for the exam, this time with the British Council, hoping for a better experience. I strongly believe IDP should either provide headphones or at least clearly inform candidates in advance about the audio setup. This would help test-takers prepare properly and avoid unnecessary surprises on exam day.
