The IELTS exam pattern includes audio recordings from various accents, including British, Australian, and North American. It is important to expose yourself to these different accents to ensure you can understand diverse pronunciation and intonation patterns. Listening to a variety of accents helps you:
Understand regional pronunciations and slang that may appear in the listening test.
Improve your overall comprehension skills, which is key to answering questions accurately in the exam.
Prepare you for a realistic test environment where speakers with different accents may be involved.
