How many matching questions are there in IELTS Listening?
The test does not fix a number: matching is one of six question types, and a paper may hold one group, two groups or none.
The test does not fix a number: matching is one of six question types, and a paper may hold one group, two groups or none.
What is fixed is the shape of a group: the official sample tasks run one group over questions 21 to 25 and another over 1 to 4, so a group is usually four or five items inside one part. Count your own and plan for that size.
Official sample tasks show the number varies: one matching group runs from question 21 to 25 and another from 1 to 4, and the instruction may allow a letter to be used more than once or leave one unused. Count the items in your own paper instead of expecting a fixed figure, and read the last line of the box before you start marking.
