Road to IELTS is a self study, online preparation course for the test written by the British Council, exclusively for candidates taking the exam at the British Council and it is given to you for free!

The course consists of 3 units (30 hour blocks) which will be rotated on a quarterly basis. This means, if you need to take the exam again in a different quarter, you will have access to completely new materials.

All 4 skills (Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking) tested in the exam are covered. You can see your scores for each exercise and get instant feedback: hints and tips for improving your skills. You can assess your level and your progress! However, please note that the progress scores you get for the exercises do not relate directly to the IELTS score you will get in the exam.

			Listening tasks are practised under the same timed conditions as in the real exam.
			Reading texts are authentic, as in the real exam.
			Writing tasks 1 and 2 techniques are now just a couple of clicks away!
			In the Speaking section, you are taken through each stage of the test and given opportunities to analyse different interview techniques.

You will develop vocabulary in topic areas commonly used in all 4 sections of the exam.

There are two separate versions – Academic and General Training.

HOW DO I ACCESS THE MATERIALS?

You will get your log in credentials (log in ID and password) as soon as you register on line and pay for exam.  

You will use your log in details to log onto the Road to IELTS Online Portal. Once you enter, you will be asked

   1. to create your own log on information,

   2. to enter the date of your written test.

If you forget your password, log onto the portal again and request your password, which will be sent to you automatically. Your log in ID remains the same though, and cannot be changed.

Please note that access to the materials will be cut off 1 week after the test date. If you wish to use the materials again, unfortunately you will have to pay the full test fee again.
