You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic:
Some people believe schools should devote more time to practical skills, such as repairing everyday objects or managing a household budget. Others think that theoretical academic subjects should remain the main priority.
Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.
In the practice test, a word count updates as you write. After you submit, compare your essay with a model answer and its review notes.

Results and analytics
After each section, see what went wrong and what to study next.
Review with an incorrect-only filter
Go back through Listening and Reading answers with the correct answer shown, or filter to the questions you missed.
Analytics across attempts
For Listening and Reading, follow your latest, best and average raw scores, your score trend and the question types you find hardest, weakest first.
From a weak question type to the lesson
Each question type links to the study chapter section that teaches it, so you can read the strategy and try again.
What this practice does not do
Raw Listening and Reading marks are not converted into predicted IELTS band scores.
Writing is not scored. You compare your response with a model answer and its practice review notes.
Speaking practice does not record audio or give a band score.
The practice tests are Academic. The chapters also cover General Training Writing Task 1.
These are original TuttoPrep practice tests, not official IELTS papers.
IELTS practice: common questions
Is TuttoPrep’s IELTS practice free?
Yes, during open beta. Sign in with Google to use all four practice tests, the study chapters, the exam guide and the tips. No card is required. See the pricing page for regular prices.
Are these official IELTS tests?
No. They are original TuttoPrep practice tests that follow the IELTS Academic format, section lengths and question types. TuttoPrep is not affiliated with the British Council, IDP IELTS or Cambridge University Press & Assessment.
Will I get an IELTS band score?
No. Listening and Reading are marked, and you see your raw mark out of 40 with accuracy by question type. TuttoPrep does not convert raw marks into predicted bands, and Writing and Speaking are not scored.
Is it for IELTS Academic or General Training?
The four practice tests are IELTS Academic. The study chapters cover both tests, with separate chapters for Academic and General Training Writing Task 1.
Can I pause a test and come back later?
Yes. Your answers and remaining time are saved to your account as you work, so you can pause a section and continue later on the same or another device. Submitted attempts are kept, so retakes build a history.
Also preparing for an entrance exam? See the CEnT-S question bank and the SAT question bank, or compare TuttoPrep with other study tools.
