📖 About This Practice Test
This Computer-Based IELTS Academic Reading Practice Test 4 replicates the official IELTS Academic CBT examination. It contains three reading passages covering diverse academic topics typical of the real exam.
Passage 1 — Tackling Obesity in the Western World — examines the science behind weight gain, metabolism myths, and genetic factors in obesity. Passage 2 — Wheel of Fortune — explores how digital technology is transforming the global entertainment industry. Passage 3 — Talent and Giftedness — investigates how talent is defined, inherited, and nurtured within families, with examples from science and the arts.
The split-screen interface lets you read the passage on the left and answer questions on the right simultaneously — exactly mirroring the official CBT experience. On submission, you receive your estimated IELTS band score and a full question-by-question answer review.
