IELTS has Academic and General Training routes with different reading and writing tasks. Confirm the route required by your institution and use current official test information.

Worked example

Baseline plan: one reading set, one listening set, an appropriate writing sample, and a recorded speaking response.

Put it into practice

Record your required route and complete an original baseline exercise without setting an unsupported score prediction.

Check your understanding

• Explain the main idea in your own words.
• Compare your result with the worked example and identify any assumptions you made.
• Record one question or edge case to discuss with your instructor.

Connect this to your project

Build a preparation portfolio with a reading error log, listening notes, two revised writing tasks, and recorded speaking practice.

Keep the output of this activity in your project folder. You will use it when you review and present your final work.
