Cambridge IELTS® Exam Preparation Hub

This page is here to help you get ready for the IELTS exam. It includes practice tests, writing samples, speaking questions with audio, vocabulary exercises, and tutorials for each part of the test. You’ll also find detailed breakdowns of the Cambridge IELTS book series, including Cambridge IELTS 20, with explanations and walkthroughs for every section. I’ve included practice materials for both the Academic and General Training versions, especially for the Reading and Writing sections. The Listening and Speaking parts are the same for both versions of the test, so those materials apply to everyone. You might want to bookmark this page so it’s easy to come back to later. If you want, you can also book one-on-one or group lessons with me for more focused help.

If you’re new to the IELTS, I recommend starting with this page. It goes over the test format, question types, scoring system, and strategies you can use to prepare more effectively.

Cambridge IELTS Book Series

IELTS Listening Practice Tests [With Transcripts & Answers]

These IELTS Listening practice tests are designed to closely resemble the real exam, featuring authentic audio recordings and a variety of question types. Each test includes interactive quizzes with instant feedback, allowing you to assess your performance right away.

In the IELTS Listening section, you will listen to four recordings, each with its own set of questions:

-Section 1: A conversation between two people in a social or everyday context (e.g., booking a hotel).
-Section 2: A monologue on a general topic (e.g., a talk about local events or facilities).
-Section 3: A conversation between two students discussing academic topics or coursework.
-Section 4: A monologue on an academic subject (e.g., a lecture on a scientific concept).

The test lasts approximately 30 minutes. For the paper-based test, you will have an additional 10 minutes at the end to transfer your answers to the answer sheet. For the computer-based test, you’ll input your answers directly during the test and will have 2 minutes at the end to review your responses. The questions assess your ability to understand main ideas, specific details, opinions, and more.

Our practice tests are structured to reflect the actual exam format, helping you become familiar with the tasks and improve your listening skills.

IELTS Reading Practice Tests [With Quizzes & Answers]

The IELTS Academic Reading section contains three academic passages and 40 questions to be completed in 60 minutes. It includes a range of question types such as multiple choice, matching headings, matching information, matching features, sentence completion, summary completion, short-answer questions, and True/False/Not Given. The section is designed to assess your understanding of main ideas, specific details, inferences, and the writer’s opinion or attitude.

The practice tests below are based on real exams from Cambridge IELTS 18, Cambridge IELTS 19, and Cambridge IELTS 20. Each one closely follows the original format, using authentic reading passages and official question types.

All tests are available as interactive quizzes with instant feedback and complete answer keys. These are meant to provide realistic practice and help you get used to the structure, timing, and difficulty level of the actual IELTS Reading section.
