Exam builder

Write a test once and use it again.

Your teachers write each IELTS module as its own set. You put sets together into full test papers, check them, and see a part the way a student will before anyone sits it.

Module sets

Each module is its own set.

Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking are written separately. A good Reading set can go into this month's paper and next month's without being copied out again.

  • The IELTS question types you know, from multiple choice and True / False / Not Given to matching headings, note completion and map labelling.
  • Audio for Listening, passages for Reading, a picture or chart for Writing Task 1.
  • Speaking follows the three parts, with the cue card for the long turn.
  • Work is saved as you type, and earlier drafts are kept.

Test papers

Put four sets together to make a paper.

Choose a set for each module and the paper is ready to give. You can also give a single module on its own, for a quick Reading practice test.

  • Academic and General Training papers.
  • Question numbers run on across the parts by themselves, so nothing is skipped or repeated.
  • If you work with an agency, its ready-made papers can sit in your library beside your own.

Checks

Mistakes are caught before the test day.

A set cannot go live while something is missing. You see what needs fixing, in plain words, before any student sees the paper.

  • Missing answers and empty parts are flagged.
  • Once a test has started, editing the set does not change it. Changes reach the next sitting.
