IELTS practice questions

Is this IELTS practice for Academic or General Training?

Both. The mock catalogs and writing pages separate Academic from General Training. Listening is shared, while Reading and Writing Task 1 differ by version.

Which IELTS version does Canada accept for permanent residence?

For Canadian economic immigration programs that accept IELTS, book IELTS General Training, not IELTS Academic. Always confirm the current requirement for your exact IRCC program before booking.

Can I practise IELTS without creating an account?

Yes. The practice questions, local scoring and writing feedback work without an account, and responses stay in your browser unless you choose to export them.
