Train your pace, evidence checking and concentration with a complete free IELTS Reading practice test for focused exam preparation.
Reading desk
Read for structure, then prove every answer.
IELTS Reading rewards control as much as comprehension. Notice how each passage is organised, mark the language that carries the main argument and return to the text for evidence. Work steadily so that the final passage receives the time it deserves.
Map the passage
Identify the topic, purpose and paragraph structure before searching for details.
Respect the wording
Follow every instruction and word limit exactly. Small format errors can cost marks.
Budget the hour
Keep a steady pace and leave a few minutes to check unanswered questions.
Reading assessment
Your hour starts here.
Complete all three passages in 60 minutes. The original questions, images, answers and scoring remain unchanged.
Before you begin: Work independently, follow every word limit and use evidence from the passage for each answer.
