Free IELTS Preparation Website

Welcome to my FREE IELTS Preparation Website. I’m Liz. My website contains hundreds of IELTS lessons, IELTS test tips, topics, model answers etc to help you prepare properly for your IELTS Test. Gaining a clear understanding of the test requirements and developing essential IELTS exam skills is the only way to maximise your score. This website targets band scores 7, 8 and 9.

What is the IELTS Test?

IELTS = I nternational E nglish L anguage T esting S ystem. It is the biggest English language test in the world with test centers in almost all countries. It is an international English test, which accepts international English, not just British English. It is taken by most people for their professional work, academic studies or moving to an English speaking country. The test can be taken on paper or on a computer. It is the same test regardless of whether you write your answers on paper or computer.

About IELTS Listening Test

This listening test comes in 4 sections with 40 questions. Section 1 & section 2 are based on social topics and section 3 & 4 are academic in nature. There are many different types of questions and you must prepare techniques for each type. The recording is played for 30 mins, there is then time to transfer or check answers (see the listening page for details). All candidates take the same listening test.

About IELTS Reading Test

This test has 3 passages with 40 questions. Academic reading contains academic style passages. GT reading contains everyday or work related topics and passage 3 is similar to academic reading. There are 14 types of questions, which are the same for both tests, and you must practice them all for familiarity and strategy. All reading practice lessons on this website are for both Academic & GT candidates. The reading test lasts 1 hour.

About IELTS Writing Test

There are two tasks. Task 1 is a report based on a chart, graph table etc. For GT IELTS candidates, task 1 is a letter. Writing task 2 is the same for both tests – a formal essay. There are five different essay types to prepare for. Essays are topic based so you must prepare ideas and vocabulary for topics. You must understand the marking criteria for success because it is not entirely based on your English language. See band scores below. The writing test is 1 hour.

About IELTS Speaking Test

This is a face to face, informal speaking test with the examiner either in a room or through video call. It lasts for 11 – 14 mins and has 3 parts. Part 1 and 3 are question/answers. Part 2 is a talk that you give for 2 mins with 1 min preparation. Topics are crucial for your speaking test preparation because it is a topic based test. Topic relevant vocabulary is vital. All candidates take the same test. You must understand the marking criteria.

“  I have followed the exact essay structures for two weeks and I was able to get the score I wanted.”   Guththika S. D.

“ You are a great teacher. I wish I had found your website earlier because I wasted a lot of time and money on my IELTS exam in the last few years but now, with your strategies and knowledge, I'm around 7.5-8 in both speaking and writing. This is wonderful because before that I scored about 5.5-6."  Reyhaneh S.

“ Dear Jacky, I've browsed hundreds of websites collecting ESL/IELTS material as an ESL teacher but I never thought I would stumble upon a treasure trove as good as this. Your website is so organised and every bit of it is just fantastic! The material is so well prepared and designed for anyone preparing for the IELTS test. The videos too are beautiful and well explained. Thank you and God bless.” Charleston .

The website is full of free resources that will allow you to prepare for your exam anytime, anywhere.

Whether you have a few hours to set aside to study or just 10 minutes here and there, you’ll find plenty here to help you make rapid progress each and every day.

You no longer have to be disappointed by low grades. For most people there are just two things you need to do to improve your score:

Both are easily achievable with the information and guidance you'll find right here. Together with your dedicated and motivated to succeed we have a winning formula.

And do let me know if there are specific things in your English learning that you are struggling with. This will help me to create exactly the right content to meet your needs and to serve you better.
