IELTS Reading: start with the 'general' test

I recently spoke to a student who was completely new to the IELTS test. He had never tried or even seen an IELTS reading test before, and he asked me how and where to begin. My advice to the student was this: start by doing a 'general' IELTS reading test.

There are three reasons why I tell new students to start with the general test:

  1. because it's easier
  2. because the question types are the same as those in the academic test (gap-fill, multiple choice, T/F/NG etc.)
  3. because you can practise exam techniques that you'll be able to use when doing the academic test
