Mock tests
Rehearse the computer test, then see why each answer is right
Every Reading test is a full paper: 40 questions against one 60-minute clock, with highlighting, notes and flags. Submit, and every question shows its answer and the line that decides it.
Which IELTS test are you taking?
Listening and Speaking are the same for both. Reading and Writing Task 1 differ, so we show yours first.
Not sure? Check with the university, employer or visa body that asked for IELTS. The official test types page explains the difference.
