What's in the question bank
You choose the topic and the difficulty; every question comes with an explanation and every session with a report.
Listening
All four parts and the official question types: Multiple Choice, Matching, Plan/Map/Diagram Labelling, Form/Note/Table/Flow-chart Completion, Sentence Completion and Short-answer Questions.
Reading
Academic passages with True/False/Not Given, Yes/No/Not Given, Matching Headings, Matching Information, Summary Completion and the other official question types.
Writing
Task 1 (describing a graph, table or process) and Task 2 (the essay). Your answer gets an AI practice estimate against the IELTS band descriptors, and each question explains what a strong answer includes.
Speaking
Part 1, Part 2 (the long turn) and Part 3 questions. Your recorded answer gets an AI practice estimate against the IELTS band descriptors, and each question explains what a strong answer includes.
Explained answers
For every Listening and Reading question you see where in the recording or passage the right answer comes from.
Performance reports
At the end of each session you see your results broken down by section, question type and difficulty.
IELTS Speaking Questions and Writing Tasks
The Writing + Speaking plan covers Writing Task 1 and Task 2 and Speaking Part 1, Part 2 (the long turn) and Part 3. You write or record your answer, and AI gives a practice band estimate against the official IELTS band descriptors; each question also explains what a strong answer includes. These are practice estimates, not official bands.

Frequently asked questions
Can I try the question bank for free?
Yes. Create an account and the 30 sample questions (10 Listening, 10 Reading, 4 Writing and 6 Speaking) open straight away, free and with no credit card. Everyone gets the same set. When you hand it in, you see each question's correct answer and explanation. For a Writing or Speaking task you see what a strong answer includes. If you want to carry on, you pick a plan.
Which test is the question bank written for?
IELTS Academic: Listening takes about 30 minutes, with 4 parts and 40 questions; Reading 60 minutes, with 3 passages and 40 questions; Writing 60 minutes and 2 tasks (Task 1 and Task 2); Speaking 11–14 minutes in 3 parts. The whole test takes 2 hours 45 minutes.
How do Writing and Speaking questions work?
You work on Writing Task 1 and Task 2, and on Speaking Parts 1, 2 and 3. AI scores your answer against IELTS's official band descriptors and gives you a band estimate. While your access lasts, you get as many AI scorings as the bank has Writing and Speaking questions — enough to have each one scored once. Scores are practice estimates, not official bands. Each question also explains what a strong answer includes.
Which plan should I choose?
If your gap is in Listening and Reading, the Listening + Reading plan is enough; if you're working on writing and speaking, Writing + Speaking. If you're preparing all four sections, Full Access is the better fit.
I'm taking General Training. Is it still useful?
The question bank follows IELTS Academic. Listening and Speaking are the same in both modules; Reading and Writing are specific to Academic.
When does my access start, and when does it expire?
You pay once. The 4 months start on the day the question bank opens on your account, and nothing renews automatically. When they end, access closes; you can buy again if you want to keep going.
