Read the passage, then choose True, False or Not Given.
In many South Asian cities, flat rooftops were once used only for drying clothes and storing old furniture. Over the past decade, a growing number of families have turned them into small vegetable gardens. Supporters say the plants shade the building below and can lower indoor temperatures during the hottest months.
The practice is not without problems. Soil and water add weight, and older roofs may need to be checked before large containers are installed. City authorities have so far offered advice rather than funding, although several schools now run their own rooftop growing projects.
1. Rooftop gardens have been common in South Asian cities for many generations.
2. Some older roofs may not be strong enough for heavy plant containers.
3. Rooftop vegetables are cheaper than vegetables from the market.
Answer all three to see your score.
How the IELTS test is structured
Our mock test follows the same four parts and timing as the real exam, in paper-based or computer-based format.
Listening

Reading
Three passages with 40 questions, like the one above.
Writing
Task 1 (a chart, process or letter) and Task 2 (an essay).
Speaking
A face-to-face conversation with an examiner in three parts.

Writing Task 2
Some people believe that students should study in their home country before going abroad for higher education. Others think it is better to go abroad as early as possible.
Discuss both views and give your own opinion. Write at least 250 words in 40 minutes.
Tips for this question
Give each view its own paragraph with a clear reason and an example. State your opinion in the introduction and repeat it in the conclusion. Plan for five minutes before you write.
Speaking Part 2
Describe a skill you learned from a family member. You should say:
- what the skill is
- who taught you
- how long it took to learn
and explain why this skill is useful to you. You have one minute to prepare and should speak for one to two minutes.
Tips for this question
Use your minute to note four or five key words, not full sentences. Tell it as a short story with a beginning, middle and end, and keep talking until the examiner stops you.
Listening
Listening needs audio, so it's part of the full mock test and the student portal. You'll hear each recording once, so practise writing answers while you listen and check spelling at the end.
