Introduction
IELTS test assesses four different language skills, of which reading is the second component in the written exam. In IELTS, the reading section is designed to assess candidates’ ability to understand the type of texts they will find in the course of their studies or daily life. There are two different versions of reading questions based on the module taken by the candidates, General Training or Academic. The question topics are more educational and the level of difficulty is higher in the Academic module. The reading test has been considered the most challenging part for many candidates due to its difficult wordings, lengthy passages, time limitation, and its variety of questions.

How it works
If you have never taken part in IELTS exam before, we administer a placement test to identify your level. This is to decide whether you will benefit from our workshop or one-one/group sessions, considering your desirable band score in listening. If you are a test re-taker who has taken the test once before during the past 6 months, then your TRF (Test Report Form) will be the basis of the decision.
