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:
- Matching things (headings, statements, features, sentence endings, dates, people, choosing from a list)
- Filling in gaps (summaries, notes, tables, flowcharts, sentences, diagrams)
- 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.
