IELTS Reading Coach

The IELTS Reading test is 60 minutes, 3 passages, 40 questions — no extra time to transfer answers. Academic passages are longer and more complex (journals, reports, academic texts); General Training includes notices, advertisements, and workplace documents alongside longer texts. The band score converts from raw marks out of 40.
