IELTS Academic Reading Practice Tests
Test Structure & Time Management: The Academic Reading test presents three authentic passages (from books/journals) with 40 varied questions including multiple choice, matching features and True/False/Not Given. Strategic skimming helps locate answers efficiently while maintaining accuracy.
Essential Skills Development: Beyond vocabulary, success demands recognising paraphrased content, tracing argument development and distinguishing between factual claims and inferences. Regular practice with academic texts builds the flexibility needed to handle unpredictable exam content and question types.
Effective Preparation Methodology: Official Cambridge practice tests provide the most accurate exam simulation. After each test, detailed error analysis enables focused improvement. Maintaining a discipline-specific terminology log enhances comprehension speed.
