Answers for Listening test

[Eternal_SSS]

Dear examiners,

I have couple question about listening test.

Is there are any differences between plural and singular? For example, some word spoken in plural, but I answered in singular, or vice versa.

Another question about additional words. For example, I have done some practice test from Cambridge IELTS. There is a question about DATE. I heard something like 17 of June and gave the same answer. When I checked I found out that correct answer is 17 June. Regarding my example, does my answer accepted as correct or not?

Thank you very much for your answer.

It's hard to give a precise answer without specific examples, but in the listening test, if you have to answer with two or more words your answer should be grammatically consistent with the question. This is more critical in the reading test.
