Hello everyone, I am posting this thread to ask some IELTS test experience in UK TEST VENUES, cause I have taken some test in somewhere in the asia and considering to take one in the UK In listening section, will a headphone be provided or will it be a loudspeaker? If it's a loud speaker can you hear clearly? For example, can you differentiate between plural and singular form of nouns?
Wow... I guess loudspeakers are the norm after all. May I ask if you took IELTS with the British Council? It's a bit unfair in my opinion for those with loudspeakers and everyone who took the exam here (in Greece) was provided headphones (we were literally 200 people in the room, so I though headphones were part of a normal procedure).

I did mine with headphones too, there were more than 150 people. Didn't know they do them with loudspeakers..
Probably avenues with very large numbers of people use headphones. If there are centres with 20 people like above, it shouldn't make any difference either way.

It's a loud speaker in uk (newcastle) to be precise. Very terrible experience, considering the fact that it's close to the road and you could hear external noises from cars and other test takers
