There are four sub-tests, or modules, to the IELTS test: Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking. Students must sit all four sub-tests. While all students take the same Listening and Speaking tests, they sit different Reading and Writing tests, depending on whether they have selected the Academic Module or the General Training Module.

On the day of the test, the four subsections will be taken in the following order as the picture above.

If you practice at home and do not have time to practice in full 60 minutes as the real module, you can practice some short tests at this site mini-ielts.com
