IELTS Test Bank

Choose a test and practice like the real exam

Reading, Listening and Writing grouped by skill, with timers and question counts.

Import a test

Paste a passage and its questions, mark the answers, then preview and save. Only add material you have the rights to publish.

With a full-test recording, it keeps playing as students move between parts, like the real exam. Leave the part audio fields empty, or fill one in only for a part that has its own recording.

How to format pasted questions
General
• Passage: leave a blank line between paragraphs. Tick "Paragraphs start with a letter label" if they begin A, B, C…
• Answers go after a | ; alternative answers are separated by /
• Question numbers at the start of a line ("1 ", "6.") are removed. Leave "First question number" empty to
  continue numbering from the previous group.
• Every type has an example in its empty Questions box. Pick a type to see it.
• Listening: add one Full-test audio URL to play a single recording across all parts (it keeps playing as
  students move between parts), or an audio URL per part. A part's own audio overrides the full recording.
  Put MP3 files in the audio folder next to index.html, e.g. audio/test1-full.mp3
