Understanding the IELTS Test
Listening
The Listening test consists of four sections (40 questions total) and lasts approximately 30 minutes. You will hear a mix of monologues and conversations in a variety of native-speaker accents. Sections 1–2 focus on everyday social contexts; Sections 3–4 on academic or training contexts.
Academic Reading
The Academic Reading test contains three long texts drawn from books, journals, magazines, and newspapers — all intended for a non-specialist audience but dealing with academic subject matter. There are 40 questions and candidates have 60 minutes to complete the paper.
General Training Reading
The General Training Reading test has three sections: an extract from an everyday text (e.g. notices), a workplace document, and a longer descriptive or analytical passage. Like Academic Reading, it has 40 questions in 60 minutes, but the scoring conversion differs — General Training scores tend to require more correct answers to achieve the same band.
Writing
The Writing test has two tasks and lasts 60 minutes. Academic Task 1 asks you to describe visual data; General Training Task 1 is a letter. Task 2 requires a discursive essay on a given topic. Writing is assessed on Task Achievement, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range and Accuracy.
Speaking
The Speaking test is a face-to-face interview lasting 11–14 minutes, divided into three parts: Introduction/Interview, Individual Long Turn (Part 2 cue card), and Two-way Discussion. It is assessed on Fluency and Coherence, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range and Accuracy, and Pronunciation.
