Using this Book 
To the student 
These 3 complete Listening tests, 9 complete Reading tests, 9 complete Writing 
tests and 2 Speaking tests, have been prepared so that you can practise on your 
own or in a classroom with the help of a teacher. They have been trialled with 
students at different levels and at language centres internationally. Feedback 
from 
trialling has been incorporated at each stage of development. 
Procedure for Listening, Reading and Writing Tests 
Do these practice tests under strict test conditions. 
Time yourself carefully and do not use a dictionary. 
You may photocopy the blank answer sheets at the beginning of each test 
section 
or use your own paper. 
You can practise the tests in the correct order or select tests according to 
thematic 
interest, using pages 2 and 3. 
Listening tests 
In each test there are 4 sections. 
•  All dialogues and instructions for each test are on the audio tape, cassette 1. 
•  Play the audio tape right through once without stopping. 
•  Write your answers as you listen. 
•  Photcopy the answer sheet and practise transferring your answers onto it. 
Reading tests 
In each test there are 3 reading passages. 
•  Read the instructions carefully. 
•  Start at the beginning. 
•  Follow the suggested time for each set of questions. 
•  Photcopy the answer sheet and write your answers directly onto it. 
Writing tests 
In each test there are 2 tasks. 
•  Read the questions carefully. 
•  Answer both tasks. 
•  Follow the suggested time and length for each task. 
Procedure for Speaking Tests 
•  Work through the exercises using the audio tape, cassette 2. 
•  Use the transcripts at the end if you want to listen to and read the interviews. 
•  Practise with a partner if you can. 
This symbol appears in various places. It is there to remind you to carry out 
one or more of the following activities after you have finished a task or a test. 
 
 Check your answers to the Listening, Reading and Speaking tests using the 
Answer key at the back of the book. 
•  Rate your performance on the Writing tasks using the Self-Rating Guide on 
pages 135 and 136. 
•  Carry out the Reflection tasks at the end of each subtest section. 


To the teacher 
If the IELTS test is new to you, you will find the introductory description of the 
test on pages 4 and 5 useful. You will probably also wish to go through that 
section 
with your students to forestall some of their queries. If your students have not 
done the IELTS Test before you may find it helpful to go through a test, section 
by 
section in class, discussing the question types at some length. You may also wish 
to draw your students' attention to the Hints and Reflections for each subtest and 
discuss them further as you think necessary. Here are some quick hints for you to 
follow as you prepare your students for the test using IELTS Practice Now. 
Listening Tests 
•  Work through one section at a time before doing a full test. 
•  Do under test conditions so that students get used to hearing the material once 
only. 
•  Give students practice in transferring their answers to separate sheets of paper 
as required in the real test. 
•  Go over the answers with your class, playing the tape again to clarify any 
difficult questions. 
•  Discuss strategies - How to use the time given to scan questions. 
- What to do if a question is missed or not understood. 
Reading Tests 
•  Use Themes—Reading Tests, page 2, for guidance as to the content of the 
reading tests, in case you wish to concentrate on a particular theme. 
•  Work through one section at a time, pointing out the different question types, 
before doing a full test. Focus on the question types your students find 
difficult. 
Writing Tests 
•  Set as homework tasks or do in the classroom under strict test conditions. 
•  Give the students timed practice to help them organise themselves under test 
conditions. 
•  Do follow-up work on the particular aspects of writing you feel need 
developing, such as understanding and answering the question, developing an 
argument, using appropriate register, improving sentence structure, or any 
.other skills normally required for academic writing. 
Speaking Tests 
•  Do the exercises individually or in small groups. 
•  Give students opportunities to practise all four phases 
•  Remember that your role as mock examiner will be important here in 
providing 
authentic practice and relieving the stress that this subtest tends to cause. 
•  Help students to develop expressions which are useful when handling 
hesitation or misunderstanding. 
•  Use the transcripts to point out any features of conversational ability that 
demonstrate a candidate is comfortable with English in an interview situation. 
Help the students understand that the skills required are useful, not just for the 
test, but for reading and writing in academic contexts and for listening to and 
speaking with native
 
speakers.
