📚 About This Practice Test
This Computer-Based IELTS General Training Reading Practice Test 1 replicates the official IELTS GT CBT examination with three sections of increasing complexity, designed around everyday social and workplace contexts.
Section 1 — Social Survival — contains short everyday texts about finding the best travel wallets and claiming UK rail delay compensation. Section 2 — Workplace Survival — features a food preparation job vacancy and a guide on setting up a business partnership. Section 3 — General Reading — presents a longer text on the history and role of the Swiss PostBus system.
The split-screen interface lets you read each text on the left while answering questions on the right — exactly as in the official CBT exam. On submission, you receive your estimated IELTS General Training band score and a full answer-by-answer review.
