Practise at test pace
Listening takes about 30 minutes, Reading 60 and Writing 60. Timed practice gets you used to each section's pace.
Sorted by official question type
Questions are grouped under IELTS's own question and task types, from Matching Headings to Writing Task 2, so you can work on the one you find hardest.
One payment, no subscription
Pay once and the question bank stays open for 4 months. Nothing renews automatically.
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.

Question Bank, Practice Tests and Tutoring on One Platform
Alongside the question bank, the same platform has full-length practice tests, TestPrep AI Tutor and one-to-one tutoring.
Written by the TestPrep team
Questions and explanations are written and checked by the TestPrep team against the exam's official content outline.
Topic-by-topic practice
Every question is tagged to a topic, so you can pick the one you find hardest and work on that alone.
Exam-style screen
Questions come in the exam's own formats, and you can practise timed or untimed.
Current format
Questions follow the exam's current structure, and we update the bank when the exam changes.
Your answers carry on in your dashboard
Every answer you give in the question bank also reaches your student dashboard, where you follow up on your mistakes and your progress.
Mistake book
The questions you got wrong or left blank collect in one place for you to solve again. A question you answer correctly on two different days leaves the book.
Review cards
Your mistake-book questions come back as cards: one you mark Again or Hard returns the next day, one you mark Good in three days.
Progress
Your accuracy topic by topic, from your practice-test and question-bank answers, and how it changes over time.
Study plan
Enter your exam and its date, and the dashboard sets a short task list for each study day. It adjusts as you study, or when you miss a day.
Go through it with TestPrep AI Tutor
Next to a question you got wrong, “Ask the AI Tutor” opens a lesson in which the tutor works through that question with you, step by step. TestPrep AI Tutor is charged separately; your first 2 wrong questions are free.
