Map Labelling Frequently Asked Questions

Key rules, directional markers, and exam strategies for Part 2 map diagrams

How do map and plan labelling questions work in IELTS Listening?

In map and plan labelling tasks (typically in Part 2), you look at a visual diagram with lettered locations (e.g. A–F) and listen to a speaker describing directions, landmarks, or tour routes to match each feature to the correct letter.

What are the most important listening cues for map questions?

Key cues include starting points (e.g. "We are currently standing at the South Gate"), directional signposts (e.g. "turn left", "directly ahead", "adjacent to", "opposite", "nestled beside"), and compass coordinates (e.g. "northern perimeter", "eastern tip").

Are letters used more than once in IELTS map questions?

No. In standard IELTS Listening map labelling tasks, each letter corresponds to exactly one location on the map diagram.
