21 March 2026 IELTS Practice sheet (AC/GT)
LISTENING (Likely: Easy , smooth flow)
Overall pattern expectation
Part 1 very safe, predictable
Part 2 slightly longer instructions
Part 3 logical but distractor heavy
Part 4 concept-based but not extreme science
---
PART 1 – Form / Table Completion
Topic style: everyday enquiry
What to practise
Apartment rental
Course registration
Club membership
Insurance enquiry
Service booking
What they test
Numbers (15 vs 50)
Dates (16th vs 60th style confusion)
Spelling of names / streets
Email formats
Double letters (accommodation, committee)
Strategy
1. Predict word type (noun? number? address?)
2. Underline limits (NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS)
3. Write in CAPS
4. If unsure spelling → phonetic guess > blank
5. Check plural “s”
---
PART 2 – Multiple Choice
Topic style: campus tour / facility guide / redevelopment plan
Danger
Speaker changes opinion
“Initially… however…” trap
Similar options (A and C almost same)
Strategy
Read options before audio
Underline difference between options
Listen for paraphrase, not exact words
First answer is often wrong if corrected later
---
PART 3 – Matching + MCQ
Topic style: students discussing research / business project
Difficulty
Faster pace
Opinion comparison
Who said what confusion
Strategy
Mark each speaker initial (A, B)
Note tone (agree / disagree / unsure)
For matching → eliminate clearly wrong first
Don’t panic if you miss one, move on
---
PART 4 – Summary Completion
Topic style: behavioural science / workplace study / environmental awareness
What makes it tricky
No pauses
Dense reasoning
Synonym heavy
Strategy
Read whole summary before audio
Predict grammar (verb? adjective?)
Follow structure, not keywords
Write while listening, don’t wait
---
ACADEMIC READING (Easy to Moderate, structured)
Expect clean structure, not brutal vocabulary.
---
Passage 1 – TFNG + Matching Info
Likely topic: social trend / workplace communication / historical development
TFNG Method
TRUE = exact match
FALSE = directly contradicts
NOT GIVEN = no clear info
Never assume. If not 100% proven → NOT GIVEN.
Matching Info
Scan paragraph topic sentences first
Don’t read whole passage fully
One paragraph may contain multiple answers
---
Passage 2 – Headings + Sentence Completion
Likely topic: education reform / transport planning / policy discussion
Headings Method
Read first & last line of paragraph
Ignore examples
Choose heading that covers whole paragraph, not one sentence
Sentence Completion
Grammar must fit exactly
Watch singular/plural
Copy spelling carefully
---
Passage 3 – MCQ + Summary + Matching
Likely topic: behavioural research / memory / technology impact
How to survive
Do summary first (locates area)
Then MCQ
Leave matching for last
Don’t read entire passage at start. That wastes time.
---
GT READING
Section 1 – Notices / Ads
Scan for numbers, dates, names
Usually direct answers
Section 2 – Workplace info
More structured
Matching headings common
Section 3 – Long article
Similar to Academic Passage 3
