This Reading test has 40 questions in total: 17 questions testing True/False/Not Given or Yes/No/Not Given statements, 8 questions using multiple-choice, matching-heading, or matching-information formats, and 15 questions requiring sentence, note, table, or summary completion.

How to Use This Answer Key

This key is most useful after a full, timed attempt rather than a question-by-question check, since IELTS Reading tests pacing as much as comprehension. When reviewing mistakes, check whether time ran out on the later passages before assuming the content itself was the problem.
