The IELTS Listening Test Course provided me with the guidance and resources I needed to improve my listening skills significantly. The course structure was well-designed, with clear explanations and examples that helped me understand key concepts easily. Part 5, focusing on how to answer Section 4, was particularly beneficial, offering strategies for tackling longer, more complex passages effectively. The real-time practice sessions allowed me to apply what I learned and build confidence in my listening abilities. Thanks to this course, I feel much more prepared and confident for the IELTS listening test. Highly recommended!
