Comment of the courseThe Cambridge General Training Tests are authentic practice tests developed by Cambridge Assessment English, one of the co-creators of the IELTS exam. These tests are specifically designed for candidates preparing for the General Training version of IELTS, which focuses on everyday English skills needed for work, immigration, or training programs in English-speaking countries.
Each test includes the four core components of IELTS:
- Listening – Realistic recordings with questions that assess comprehension of conversations and monologues in social and workplace settings.
- Reading – Passages drawn from advertisements, workplace handbooks, newspapers, and other real-life materials with questions that test a range of reading skills.
- Writing – Two tasks, including letter writing (Task 1) and an essay response to a prompt (Task 2).
- Speaking – A structured interview-style test that evaluates fluency, vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation.
These practice tests follow the exact format and difficulty level of the actual IELTS exam and are an essential resource for building confidence and achieving a high score. They are especially valuable for individuals planning to immigrate to Canada, apply for Express Entry, or pursue job opportunities in English-speaking environments. Many pre-arrival and settlement programs recommend Cambridge materials as trusted tools for effective IELTS preparation.
