• There is no extra time to transfer answers, just as in the real computer-delivered test.
• Select words in a passage to highlight them.

What this test covers

This is the Academic Reading section only. It does not test Listening, Writing or Speaking, and it is not the General Training paper. Question types: True/False/Not Given, Yes/No/Not Given, note completion, summary completion, matching headings, multiple choice and matching sentence endings.

The band shown is an estimate based on commonly published Academic Reading score conversions. Only the official test gives you an official score.
