📖 About This Practice Test

This Computer-Based IELTS General Training Reading Practice Test 5 replicates the structure and conditions of the official IELTS General Training CBT examination with three sections and 40 questions.

Section 1 contains two short texts: the first is about the New York Late-Starters String Orchestra (NYLSO) — an amateur adult music group — and the second presents seven running watch reviews, testing your ability to match features to specific products. Section 2 covers two workplace texts: Employees' Health and Safety Responsibilities listing rights and duties at work, and a set of Company Notices about internal office announcements. Section 3 is a longer text about Vanilla — exploring how this globally popular flavour is grown and processed differently across Mexico, Madagascar, Tahiti and Indonesia.

Use the split-screen interface to read each text on the left while answering questions on the right. On submission you receive your estimated band score and a full answer review for all 40 questions.
