IELTS Reading test format
The Reading test lasts 60 minutes and contains 40 questions across three sections.
Question types include multiple choice, matching headings and information, True/False/Not Given, Yes/No/Not Given, sentence completion, summaries, tables and diagrams.
Your 60 minutes includes entering or transferring answers. About 20 minutes per section is a useful planning guide; there is no separate timer for each section.
Academic Reading uses three long texts drawn from books, journals, magazines and newspapers. General Training Reading uses everyday, workplace and general-interest texts.
Both tests contain 40 questions and last 60 minutes. Practise the version required for your application.
Review incorrect answers, recognise paraphrases and build vocabulary in context.
