8 sample papers for IELTS Academic Reading

The Academic Reading section tests a wide range of reading skills and strategies. Some tasks may involve reading for gist (i.e. general understanding, or overall meaning). Others may require you to read for the main ideas in a text. You might also need to read for detail or specific information. Or perhaps you will be required to read closely in order to understand a logical argument in a text.

The content of this resource has been written to closely replicate the IELTS exam experience, and has undergone comprehensive expert and peer review. Each of the 8 exam-styled tests includes the different reading tasks that you may encounter during the IELTS Academic Reading test:

  1. Matching headings

  2. True / False / Yes / No / Not Given

  3. Matching information

  4. Summary completion
