Introduction

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is widely recognised as a

reliable means of assessing whether candidates are ready to study or train in the medium of

English. IELTS is owned by three partners, The University of Cambridge Local

Examinations Syndicate, the British Council and IDP Education Australia (through its

subsidiary company IELTS Australia Pty Limited). The main purpose of this book of

Practice Tests is to give future IELTS candidates an idea of whether their English is at the

required level. Further information on IELTS can be found in the IELTS Handbook

available free of charge from IELTS centres.
