📖 About This Practice Test
This Computer-Based IELTS General Training Reading Practice Test 31 replicates the official IELTS GT CBT examination, with three sections of increasing complexity.
Section 1 covers “Lanscombe Farm”, “Cut your energy bills – Solar power” and “Brelford Town Hall Fire Practices”. Section 2 covers “Bowman’s Building – Opportunities for Apprentices” and “Dismissal – Notes for UK employers and employees”. Section 3 is one long reading passage on water stress and scarcity.
The split-screen interface lets you read each text on the left while answering questions on the right — exactly as in the official computer-delivered IELTS exam. On submission, you receive your estimated IELTS General Training band score and a full answer-by-answer review.
