The IELTS exam is perhaps the most widely taken international English language test. Over 2.5 million people sit the test every year from around the world. IELTS is recognised by universities, companies, professional bodies such as the GMC and NMC, immigration authorities, and government institutions all around the world as a measure of English language ability.

The reading paper of the Academic IELTS test is a tough one. You have to read 3 academic texts taken from journals, reports and articles and answer 40 questions on them in 1 hour. The texts are long - up to 2,000 words each. This means you have to develop the ability to understand the main points quickly, as well as the ability to find the answers to the questions without reading every single word.
What you need to do...

1. Develop your vocabulary, especially of key IELTS topics such as work, education, social trends, mass media, travel and tourism, and the environment.

2. Improve your understanding of complex English, so you can quickly follow complicated ideas and arguments. You need to see how ideas are connected together - within sentences, between sentences, and between paragraphs.

3. Practice answering IELTS style questions so you get used to them - work on practice test papers, get tips from your teacher, or use the SLC resource library (if you're taking a course with us)

As part, of this it's critical to READ!!
The best practice exercise to of all is to simply read. When you get used to reading articles from newspapers and magazines, you will have fewer problems with long articles in the test itself.

Practice reading quickly for understanding, then look for specific facts and figures of interest. Make notes as you go of new words and phrases.

As a starting point, we have compiled a list of 10 useful reading resources and websites which may help you practice your reading skills at home. They cover a very wide range of topics, so are very useful for the IELTS Test.

1. http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/business-magazine: free texts and exercises with a focus on business and work)

2. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world: good for academic English and also good to keep up with current world issues

3. https://www.newscientist.com/: excellent site about technology, health, science and the environment

4. http://www.economist.com/: covering world politics, economics, science and technology, offering 3 articles a week for free if you sign up

5. http://www.nationalgeographic.com/: covering environmental issues, culture, nature and animals. Very illustrative with a lot of amazing pictures.

6. http://socialnewsdaily.com/: lots of short, easy to understand, contemporary articles drawn from the world of social media

7. http://www.the-scientist.com/: a site about science, health, ecology, biology and innovation

8. http://historynewsnetwork.org/: American site focusing on history, both US and worldwide, with lots of current affairs articles too

9. http://www.bbc.co.uk/: news, views and much more from the UK's most famous media institution. All topics included - also a good site to practice listening

10. http://www.inspirational-short-stories.com/funny-short-stories.html: sometimes it`s good to expand your vocabulary by reading short stories - here are some funny ones, and there are plenty more on the website

We hope these websites help you improve your reading skills for the IELTS, but let us know if you have any resources to add to this list!

There is nothing better than learning from the experience of those who have travelled the same path.
The following tips were generated by a group of students wishing to study on a postgraduate course in Hospitality and Management who needed the IELTS qualification to be able to enrol on the course. They took the time after their IELTS course to prepare some tips to help other IELTS students also studying for the IELTS exam.

On your behalf I thank them. Please comment below if you found any of them useful.

Practise reading daily-you will improve both your speed reading and comprehension skills

Read a variety of topics in books-this will give you a much wider vocabulary-this is very important for IELTS.

Do as many mock tests as you can find-this also highlights topic vocabulary you will need and makes you more proficient at the very difficult skills of matching a heading with a paragraph and answering the TRUE/YES/FALSE/NO/NOT GIVEN questions. For these two skills, read the first paragraph first and look at the headings/questions and repeat with the second paragraph etc. This should really help with your speed at finding the answers to these types of questions.

Listen to /watch as many varieties of spoken English as you can-especially movies and documentaries

Concentrate on key phrases, note them down and remember them, especially before going into the IELTS exam

What you have practised for the Reading and Listening can be recycled in your Writing

Study grammar, especially items you find difficult, and put them into use because these are the ones which will make your writing look more complex

Create a store of expressions and group them into typical exam topics

Part 1 (5 mins)

The examiner asks you basic questions so that you introduce yourself

Then you might be asked about where you live-in Britain or your own country, your house/flat/room, things of interest, transport etc, how long you've lived there.

Or your job or your studies, why you chose these, what's good about them, how what you learn from these can be applied in your country.

Part 2 (4 mins)

The examiner will give you a card with your topic on and you will be asked to talk about it for maximum 2 minutes. You have one minute to make notes-the notes are to help you present your topic logically.

The topic

Three points concerning the topic

Explain why...

Speak clearly and project your voice.

Part 3 (4 mins)

The examiner asks you questions related to your presentation topic.

Learn more about how to pass the IELTS speaking test here.

Things to be aware of in general

Read continuously for many days to get used to and improve your reading speed

Learn new phrases, especially their spellings and ways to link your ideas to improve your writing style

Practise these new phrases in day to day life, so that they stay in your memory

Be confident and clear in the speaking test

Watch and listen to the radio and TV. This will help you to understand a variety of accents and come across useful expressions and phrases that you can recycle in your writing and speaking exams as well as your reading and listening ones.

Learn to manage your time well, so that you can answer all the questions.

In the reading and listening exams, do not leave any questions blank. Guess the answer. You might be right and you will not lose marks if you're wrong.

Don't answer the questions quickly. Think seriously about what you write, as there are often tricks to test your understanding.

Learn to skim and scan. First of all, go quickly through the passage, so as to understand it. Next, underline the key points, and remember that the most important point of the paragraph is usually in the first line and sometimes in the last. This helps you to improve your reading speed by at least 60%)

Read the questions first and then find the appropriate paragraph with the answer

Once again my thanks go to the students: Arun, Sumit, Sachin, Arpit, Mihir, Sujita, Manali, Anjali, Varsha, Shreegyan, Jyoti, Kalyan and Aniket who took time to capture and consolidate these tips, so others could benefit from them.

I am pleased to publish their helpful work here.

To your IELTS success,

James
