Reading
Reading test format – IELTS Academic, 60 minutes
There are three sections, each containing
one long text.
The texts are all real and are taken from
books, magazines and newspapers. They
have been written for a non-specialist
audience and are on academic topics of
general interest, which means you do not
need specialist knowledge to do well.
The texts are appropriate to, and accessible
to, candidates entering undergraduate or
postgraduate courses or seeking
professional registration.
If texts contain technical terms, then a
simple glossary is provided.
Texts range from the descriptive and factual
to the discursive and analytical. Texts may
contain nonverbal materials such as
diagrams, graphs or illustrations.
Reading test format – IELTS General Training, 60 minutes
There are three sections.
Section 1: contains two or three short factual
texts, one of which may be composite
(consisting of 6-8 short texts related by topic,
e.g. hotel advertisements). Topics are
relevant to everyday life in an Englishspeaking country.
Section 2: contains two short factual
texts focusing on work-related issues
(e.g. applying for jobs, company policies, pay
and conditions, workplace facilities, staff
development and training).
Section 3: contains one longer, more
complex text on a topic of general interest.
You will be reading real passages taken
from notices, advertisements, company
magazines and newspapers.
Tips
1. To improve your performance in the
Reading test you need to practise
reading a variety of English texts. This
will help you develop the ability to read
quickly
2.
before reading the passages. This will
answers. Underline possible answers as
you go.
3. When you come to reading the passage,
get a general idea of what it’s about.
Don’t worry about words you do not
understand. Then read each question
again to remind yourself which parts of
the passage you will need to read again
in detail.
4. The Reading passages always contain
the information you need to answer the
question. You won’t have to use your
own knowledge of a topic.
5. If you are copying words from a question
or reading passage to use in your
answer, remember that your spelling
must be accurate.
6. The Reading test may sometimes
include questions that test your overall
understanding of a passage. For
example, the question may ask what
the topic of a particular passage is.
Try underlining key words and ideas
in each paragraph as you read to help
you understand the key message of
each passage.
7. Circle or underline key words as you
read. For example, if a reading passage
contains many place names or dates,
circle them as you go along. This will
if they come up in any of the questions.
8. If you are asked to label a diagram, you
Be sure to copy them carefully from the
text with the correct spelling.
9. If there are questions you cannot
answer, leave them and move on to the
next question. This will help you to stay
calm and positive. Go back to those
questions at the end, if you have time.
10. Make sure you write down your answers
for the Reading test on the answer sheet
– not the question paper. There will be
no extra time to transfer your answers
after the Reading test.
The Listening, Reading and Writing tests must be completed on the same day. The order in which these tests are taken may vary.
There are no breaks between these three tests.The Speaking test may be taken up to seven days before or after the other three tests.

IELTS tips
Speaking
Speaking test format, 11-14 minutes
The Speaking component is the same
for both versions of IELTS (Academic
and General Training). There are three parts.
The test is recorded.
Part 1: Introduction and interview
(4-5 minutes)
The examiner introduces him/herself and
your identity. The examiner asks you general
questions on familiar topics,
(e.g. work, studies and interests).
Part 2: Individual long turn (3-4 minutes) The
examiner gives you a booklet with a task that
asks you to talk about a particular topic and
which includes points you can cover in your
talk. You are given one minute to prepare
your talk, and you are given a pencil and
paper to make notes. You talk for one to two
minutes on the topic. The examiner then
asks you one or two questions on the
same topic.
Part 3: Two-way discussion (4-5 minutes)
The examiner asks further questions that are
connected to the topic of Part 2. This gives
you an opportunity to discuss more general
issues and ideas.
Tips
1. In the lead up to the Speaking test, make
sure you take the time to practise
speaking English – with friends, at work
and on the phone. You should also
consider recording yourself, so that you
feel confident speaking English during
your test.
6. Answer in as much detail as you can.
Don’t just answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Try to
develop your response to each question
− draw on your own experience and give
examples. The examiner wants to hear
whether you can talk at length on a range
of topics.
2. There are no right or wrong answers in
the Speaking test. The examiner will
assess you on how well you can express
your ideas and opinions in good English.
7. Use the correct verb tense when
answering questions in the Speaking
test. Listen carefully to the question
and notice which verb tense is used.
For example, if the question is ‘What
kind of music do you like?’ (in the
present tense) your answer should
also be in the present tense (e.g.
‘I like pop music best’). You can go
on to use other tenses as you extend
your response, e.g. ‘I haven’t always
enjoyed that kind of music...’.
3. It will help you to feel relaxed if you
imagine you are talking to a friend.
Remember that you are not being
assessed on your opinions, rather on
your use of English.
4. Try to avoid repeating the words used in
the examiner’s question. Use your own
words to show the examiner your full
ability.
5. Speak clearly and at a natural pace. If
you speak too quickly, you may make
mistakes or pronounce words incorrectly.
9. It is better to use simple, commonly used
vocabulary and to use it correctly than
to use advanced vocabulary that you are
unsure about. However, to get a high
score, you must show you know how
to use more advanced vocabulary.
10. In Part 2, the examiner will give you a
booklet with a topic, some paper and a
pencil. You then have one minute to
prepare your answer. First think about
the topic and then decide which is the
most appropriate tense to use in your
response. You should use the same
tense(s) as the questions on the card.
11. Try to answer as fully as possible
and give reasons for your answers.
This will help you to use a wider range
of vocabulary and grammar.
8. Practise the pronunciation of numbers
to be sure that your meaning is clear.
For example, many numbers can sound
very similar when spoken, so be sure
to say them clearly, e.g. ‘Thirty’ and
‘Thirteen’, ‘Forty’ and ‘Fourteen’, ‘Fifty’
and ‘Fifteen’ etc.

Learning a language takes time and effort. This booklet is designed to
help you prepare for your IELTS test and improve your understanding
of the test format, but should not be seen as a substitute for language
tuition and regular practice.
Listening test format, 30 minutes
Listening
The Listening component is the same for
both versions of IELTS (Academic and
General Training). There are four parts.
You will hear the recording only once.
A variety of voices and native-speaker
accents are used.
Section 1: a conversation between two
people set in an everyday social context (e.g.
a conversation about accommodation).
Section 2: a monologue set in an everyday
social context (e.g. a speech about local
facilities or about arrangements for meals
during a conference).
Section 3: a conversation between up to
four people set in an educational or training
context (e.g. a university tutor and a student
discussing an assignment, or a group
of people planning a project).
Section 4: a talk (e.g. a university lecture).
1. At the beginning of each section read
the questions for that section carefully,
before the recording starts. This will help
you to follow the recording and identify
the answers.
2. After completing a section, it is better to
look ahead and read the questions for the
next section than to worry about the last
section.
3. You will sometimes have a list of options
to choose from as answers. The possible
answers may be listed in alphabetical
order and not necessarily in the order you
will hear them.
4. Be careful to note word limits. If there
is an instruction: Write no more than two
words, writing more than two words will
mean you will receive no marks at all for
your answer, even if some of the words
are correct.
5. Try to listen for key words or synonyms
(words that have the same or nearly the
same meaning as another word) from the
question to help you identify the answer.
For example, in the recording you might
hear: “She likes going to the gym and
playing tennis”. On your answer sheet,
this could appear as “She is an active
person.”
6. You may be asked to write down words
that have been spelled out in the
recording. In order to do this well, you
need to know the English alphabet and
how each letter is pronounced (for
example, the letter ‘W’ is pronounced as
‘double-u’).
7. Listen carefully for words that indicate
which stage of the recording you are
‘to sum up’. These words will help you
identify which question you have
reached.
are several correct ways to write them
(e.g. 24th April, April 24 and 24 April are
all correct).
10. If there are questions you cannot answer,
leave them and move on to the
next question. This will help you to stay
calm and positive. Go back to those
questions at the end, if you have time.
11. After the last recording has ended you
have 10 minutes to transfer your answers
from the Listening booklet to your answer
sheet. Don’t make the mistake of copying
these answers across to the answer
sheet in between sections or you may
miss important information about the next
section of the test. Wait until the end
of Section 4 before transferring
your answers.
8. As you are listening to the recording,
makes it easier for you to find the right
answer.
9. If you are writing dates as an answer
to any question, remember that there
