IELTS General Training Writing Forecast — Q2 2026 (May–August)
These are our General Training Writing forecast tests for Q2 2026 (May–August).
We use advanced AI technology to search where test takers share the topics they saw — forums, exam reports and recall threads. From those reports we predict the topics most likely to come up. We then search our own test database for passages and tasks on those predicted topics, and build each forecast test from that existing material. Nothing here is newly written. That is a deliberate choice. We could have AI generate new tests, but generated material can stop matching the real exam format. Reusing real material keeps the format accurate. IELTS draws on a limited bank of material, and topics rotate, so recent reports are genuinely useful. Still, a forecast is not a guarantee — we cannot tell you which topics your exam will have. What you get is a feel for current trends, and vocabulary that may come up.
