Welcome to the free online practice zone.

Activities here are written by British Council teachers and are designed to give you a good idea of test question types and the approximate level of English you will need.

Please note that the activities do not always follow the exact format of the IELTS test.

The activities are designed to give you around 10 hours of practice time. After you register for a test with the British Council, you gain full free access to 30 hours of online practice material.
