General Training module
IELTS General Training Practice Test 2
The second General Training paper, using a different set of everyday and workplace documents from paper 1: a course prospectus and a tenancy agreement, then a safety induction and an expenses policy. Writing Task 1 is an informal letter to a friend rather than a formal complaint, which is the register candidates most often get wrong when they have only practised one.
This paper is marked against the General Training band table. General Training Reading is scored far more strictly than Academic because the texts are easier: 30 out of 40 is a band 7 on Academic and a band 6 here. If you are applying to a university, sit an Academic paper instead.

Section 1
Enquiring about a self-storage unit
You will hear a man enquiring about renting a storage unit. First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 10.
This section is narrated by your browser rather than by a recording, so the voices are flatter than the real test and the accents are whatever your device provides. It trains comprehension and pacing well; for accent practice use the free official recordings from the British Council and IDP alongside it.

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.
