Note that a full IELTS reading test takes one hour and involves 40 questions, based on three texts.
Notes for teachers
This reading test includes a range of question types used in the IELTS reading test, and tests different reading skills notably skimming, scanning, identifying main ideas, and understanding detail. Since the actual IELTS test lasts one hour and includes 40 questions on three reading texts, this sample reading test should be done in 20 to 25 minutes.Classroom technique: to simulate IELTS test conditions, students should have 20 - 25 minutes to read the text, and answer the test. The rest of the class time can be spent going through the text, and doing the interactive exercise that goes with it. Do not confuse testing and teaching! Practice tests do not teach, they test.
