IELTS diagnostic assessment

Discover where you stand before you start preparing

Take an IELTS-aligned baseline assessment across all four skills and gain an indicative profile of your current performance — so your preparation targets the right things from day one.

Four skills, one baseline

What the diagnostic assesses

The assessment follows the IELTS structure across Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking, and reports an indicative band profile skill by skill.

Listening

Assess listening comprehension through IELTS-style recorded material and question formats.

Reading

Assess reading comprehension using IELTS-style passages and question types.

Writing

Complete both Writing Task 1 and Task 2, with performance considered against the major IELTS writing criteria.

Speaking

Respond verbally to Speaking tasks using the IELTS Speaking structure.

Your assessment and learning experience is hosted on our dedicated learning platform, which opens in a new tab.
