IELTS Academic Practice Test 2
A complete Academic paper covering two formats paper 1 does not: map labelling in Listening Section 2, and a multiple-select question in Reading. Writing Task 1 is a process diagram rather than a data table, which needs a different toolkit again. Listening and Reading are marked the moment you submit, with an explanation for every question.

Section 1
Booking a community hall
You will hear a man enquiring about hiring a community hall for an event. First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 10.
In the real test the recording plays once and you cannot pause it. Use pause while you are learning the format, then stop using it a fortnight before your test date.

Before you read anything into your score
This band is indicative. IELTS equates every live version of the test separately, so the raw score needed for a given band moves by a mark or two from paper to paper. Use this to see whether you are near your target, not to predict your result.
This is practice material written in house, not a retired official paper. It follows the published format and question types closely, and it is not produced or endorsed by the British Council, IDP or Cambridge English. Use it alongside the free official samples those organisations publish, not instead of them.
