During the Practice Tests
Follow each test's instructions carefully, and do not spend longer on the examination than the
instructions allow. If you spend longer on the Practice Tests than the instructions allow, you will
not get an idea of how well you will perform in the real IELTS examination.
When you have finished the Listening Test, allow yourself 10 minutes to transfer your answers
onto the Answer Sheet, give yourself a short break, and then go on to the Reading Test.
At the beginning of each part of the Reading Test there are suggestions for how long you should
spend on each set of questions. Be sure to follow these suggestions carefully.
At the end of 60 minutes, stop doing the Reading Test and immediately continue with the Writing
Test. Then go on to the Speaking Test, and record your responses on a blank tape
