Select a category, search by keyword, or filter by question type to find what you need. If you're looking for the most exam-like experience, we recommend starting with the Cambridge tests, which closely mirrors the format and difficulty of the real exam.

Cambridge Academic

The Cambridge IELTS Academic series uses authentic past papers from the official exam creators, making it the most reliable way to practice. Because the material closely matches the real Academic exam in format, logic, and difficulty, it is the best category to start with if you want a true exam experience.

Cambridge General

The Cambridge IELTS General Training series uses authentic past papers from the official exam creators, making it the most reliable way to practice. Because the material closely matches the real GT exam in format, logic, and difficulty, it is the best category to start with if you want a true exam experience.

IELTS Reading Basic

The Basic IELTS series provides simple, introductory exercises suitable for beginners just starting their IELTS preparation.

Forecast Academic

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.
