READING EXERCISES HELP
 

Before You Begin...
   

*

 The Reading exercises are for practice only.

The passage entitled "Hearing Problems" is at Academic Module level

The passage entitled "ST. MICHAEL'S SCHOOL FOR THE DIFFERENTLY ABLED" is at General Training Module level.

Note:   Academic Students should also practice with the General Training Module reading passages, since the reasoning behind the notes for the answers is applicable to both Modules.
 

*

 The question types are similar to those in the actual IELTS test. However, the format of these practice tests does not resemble the IELTS Reading test exactly. This is partly due to the electronic medium we are using.

i.e.  in the IELTS test there are reading passages of varying length and difficulty.

Also, the reading passages in the actual IELTS test have fewer questions per passage than the practice download passages.
 

*

 Read the questions below the reading passage before reading the passage for the answers. In the actual IELTS Reading test it is not a good idea to read the passage in full because you will probably run out of time.

Note:  There are no time restrictions to the practice download exercises. For practice you may take as long as you wish to answer the questions.
