Every skill follows the same rhythm: learn the strategy, practise with guidance, then test yourself under real conditions.
Four exam-style sections and 40 questions, with free audio playback and full transcripts.
12 core strategies and 13 question types, from Matching Headings to Diagram Completion.
A 14-step process for Task 1 and Task 2, with Band 5–8 sample comparisons.
Part 1 topics, Part 2 cue cards and Part 3 discussion practice.
Band-leveled flashcards, collocations, and grammar structures.
Most candidates plateau at 6.0 not from lack of effort, but because Band 7 rewards consistency — using strong vocabulary and grammar throughout, not just in places.
Explore Band 6 → 7Four exam-style sections, real question types, and free audio playback with full transcripts.
40 questions across four recordings, plus about 2 minutes' review time on the computer-delivered test.
Two everyday recordings, then two educational/academic ones — difficulty increases through the test.
Each recording plays only one time — there's no rewind, so prediction and preparation matter more than in Reading.
Wrong answers don't cost points — always write something rather than leaving a blank.
Every recording below is read aloud by your browser using free, built-in text-to-speech — press Play, and use "Show transcript" if you want to check the script.
Structured like the real exam: an everyday conversation, an everyday monologue, an educational conversation and an academic monologue, each with its own recording and questions. This original mock uses 32 questions across the four sections (8 per section) rather than the full 40, so each section stays practical to complete in one sitting.
Fifteen in-depth strategies, thirteen question types explained in full, and an original practice-passage library organised topic by topic across ten real IELTS subject areas.
No extra transfer time — answers go straight onto the answer sheet.
40 questions total, generally increasing in difficulty from Passage 1 to Passage 3.
Reading, answering and a rough time-check — aim to glance at the clock once per passage, not just at the end.
Wrong answers don't cost points — never leave a question blank.
Real IELTS Academic Reading passages are adapted from journals, textbooks, newspapers and popular-science writing, and they cluster around a fairly predictable set of subjects. Filter by topic below to drill the subject areas that come up most often, then work through a genuine mix of question types — True/False/Not Given, Yes/No/Not Given, multiple choice and sentence completion — with instant checking and a full explanation for every answer. (Matching Headings, with lettered paragraphs, is practised in the full-length test further down.)
Structured like the real exam: 3 passages with lettered paragraphs, mixed question types (Matching Headings, True/False/Not Given, Sentence Completion). Spend about 20 minutes per passage.
A 14-step process, paragraph-by-paragraph structures, a full chart-language guide for every Task 1 visual, all five Task 2 essay types with sentence templates, a cohesion bank, and real Band 5–8 comparisons.
Describe a chart, table, process or map — no personal opinion, ever.
A full argumentative essay — worth roughly twice as much as Task 1 in your overall Writing band.
Task Achievement/Response, Coherence & Cohesion, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range & Accuracy — each weighted equally.
Writing below the minimum word count directly lowers your Task Achievement/Response score, whatever the quality of the writing.
Every paragraph you write in Task 1 or Task 2, whatever the topic, is built from the same handful of moving parts. Learn this shape once, alongside the formal register examiners expect it written in, and it pays off across every essay — not just one prompt.
Task 1 Academic always gives you exactly one visual — a line graph, a bar chart, a pie chart, a table, a process diagram, or a map — and asks you to describe it accurately in your own words. It is a description task, not an argument task, and it is marked on how well you select, organise and language the data, not on how many numbers you manage to mention. Two rules apply to every single chart type below, so they're worth fixing before anything else.
Every Task 1 answer follows the same four-part shape, whichever visual you're given: a paraphrased introduction, an overview naming the one or two most striking overall features, then two body paragraphs working through the supporting detail. Pick a chart type below for its identification cues, its version of that structure, and a full phrase bank organised by function with worked example sentences.
Nearly every Task 2 prompt is a variation on one of five underlying essay types, and each type expects a different paragraph structure. Misreading the type is one of the most common — and most avoidable — ways candidates lose Task Response marks: the English can be excellent and still score Band 5–6 if it answers the wrong structural question. Learning to identify the type in the first thirty seconds is worth as much practice time as the writing itself.
| If the prompt says… | …it's asking for |
|---|---|
| "To what extent do you agree or disagree?" / "Do you agree or disagree?" | Opinion |
| "Discuss both views/these views and give your own opinion." | Discussion |
| "What are the advantages and disadvantages…?" / "…do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?" | Advantages/Disadvantages |
| "What problems does this cause and what solutions can you suggest?" | Problem/Solution |
| Two separate question marks in one prompt (e.g. "Why is this the case? What can be done about it?") | Two-Part Question |
Coherence & Cohesion rewards a natural range of linking devices used accurately — not the frequent repetition of a single favourite. Reusing "however" or "moreover" four or five times in one essay reads as mechanical and is one of the most common band-lowering habits at Band 5–6; keep two or three options ready for each function below and rotate between them.

Topic-organised vocabulary flashcards and intensive per-topic quizzes, plus the grammar range that separates Band 6 from Band 7.
IELTS Reading and Listening passages are drawn from real academic sources, so they lean heavily on academic-register vocabulary — the kind catalogued in resources like the Academic Word List, 570 core word families that recur across academic texts of every kind. Rather than one generic list, this bank is organised by the same ten topic areas as the Reading section above, then split into two difficulty tiers, so you build the specific vocabulary each subject actually needs — pick a topic, then a level, and work through it properly rather than skimming a handful of unrelated words.
