[Skip the 5-minute introduction if you want to just get to the question types!]


Different websites have different ways of categorising IELTS Reading Question types.


See my latest blog for all the details:


https://ieltsetc.com/2023/03/how-many-ielts-reading-question-types/


In my online courses, I follow the official IELTS.org guidelines, and I have simplified the types so that you focus more on developing your reading skills. Developing good reading skills will enable you to answer all question types.


The 3 basic categories are:



  1. Matching things (headings, statements, features, sentence endings, dates, people, choosing from a list)

  2. Filling in gaps (summaries, notes, tables, flowcharts, sentences, diagrams)

  3. Choosing from a list (Multiple Choice, True, False, Not Given and Yes, No, Not Given)


In this blog, I examine the official 11 Question Types as outlined on IELTS.org and explain how other teachers and websites might label them.
