The Reading component consists of 40 questions, designed to test a wide range of reading skills. These include reading for gist, reading for main ideas, reading for detail, skimming, understanding logical argument and recognising writers’ opinions, attitudes and purpose.
- IELTS Academic Test
This includes three long texts which range from the descriptive and factual to the discursive and analytical. These are taken from books, journals, magazines and newspapers. They have been selected for a non-specialist audience but are appropriate for people entering university courses or seeking professional registration.
- IELTS General Training Test
This includes extracts from books, magazines, newspapers, notices, advertisements, company handbooks and guidelines. These are materials you are likely to encounter on a daily basis in an English-speaking environment.

IELTS FAQs
It is important that your English is really good before you realistically set a goal of scoring 7.0 or higher in IELTS.
Usually courses in Nepal are for a duration of 6 weeks. However, the classes only give you guidelines, so we recommend that you practice for a month after finishing classes and then appear for the test.
IELTS is an English language proficiency test compulsory for all students who want to study abroad and have English as their second language. IELTS is generally considered a more test-taker-friendly test than other English language proficiency tests.
Most candidates have often felt that the preparation for TOEFL was harder than the IELTS exam preparation.
There is a lot of material available online. You can also buy books and practice. However, classes with a professional teacher are recommended no matter what your level of English.
If a candidate wishes to change their test date, they can request to reschedule their exam date at least five weeks ahead of the previously booked test. The new date must be rescheduled within three months of the actual test date. For the process of rescheduling, the candidate will have to pay an administrative fee.
