IELTS Listening mini-test
There are 8 questions and it takes 6 minutes. You can listen with or without a transcript. When answering questions, make sure you scroll down to see all the questions – I didn’t and missed some questions. Answer by selecting the answer, when finished, click “Submit”. The correct answers will show up marked with a “V” and the incorrect marked with an “X”.

IELTS reading test
There are passages of both General Training and Academic Module difficulty, the Academic text comes with 13 questions and the General Training with 7 questions. Choose the desired module (Academic or General) and hit “Start”. When you’re answering questions, don’t forget to scroll down to see all of them. Oh, and one more thing – it didn’t work for me in the Internet Explorer 6, I had to use Firefox.

IELTS Writing test
I think this writing test is very useful. First, there are 3 tasks: an Academic Task 1, a General Training task 1, and a Task 2 (essay). For every task there is planning help where they explain how to approach writing a report, a letter or an essay and then there are sample answers. Excellent practice, I am sure you’ll find it helpful.

IELTS Speaking test
You get to practice by listening to the recording of an interview (where a student answers the examiner’s questions) and then answering the questions that you hear yourself. There is a transcript that you can use if something is not clear to you in the recording. After you’ve started the test by hitting the “Start” button, you will see the list of questions and the examiner’s comments on the recorded student’s performance.
