HOW TO TAKE THE PRACTICE TESTS
Before the Practice Tests
Find a quiet room with a desk, and make sure that you have enough time to complete each test
and are not going to be interrupted.
You will need a pen and two photocopies of the Listening and Reading Test Answer Sheet on
page 163, and a photocopy of the Writing Test Answer Sheets on pages 164 and 165. You will
also need a cassette player for the Practice Listening Tests, a blank tape for the Practice Speaking
Tests, and a watch or clock.
NB: The suggested times given in this book for the smaller blocks of Reading Test questions are not
a feature of the actual IELTS Reading Test. They are given to assist with your practice sessions only
