How a class works

  1. Step 1

    Make the class

    Sign in, pick IELTS Reading and name the class. It takes under a minute.

  2. Step 2

    Post one link

    Put the class link in your LMS, a slide or a group chat. Students join with just the name you know them by.

  3. Step 3

    See what to reteach

    Open the class page for scores, who practiced, and the topics and questions the class misses most.

What your students practice

IELTS Academic Reading lasts 60 minutes and has 40 questions on three passages totalling 2,150 to 2,750 words, taken from books, journals, magazines, newspapers and online sources. Each correct answer earns one mark, wrong answers lose nothing, and the raw score out of 40 becomes a band from 1 to 9 in whole or half bands. On computer, answers are typed on screen and there is no extra transfer time. General Training Reading has the same length and timing but uses everyday and workplace texts and needs more correct answers for the same band.

Tigertest's practice follows the IELTS.org Academic Reading format page and IDP's band score table (as of November 2026). Students train in short sets where missed questions come back until they are mastered, then take full practice tests.

Questions teachers ask

Is the IELTS Reading class free?

Yes. Classes are free for teachers. A student in your class also gets that test's full stats and every step of it at no charge.

Do my students need accounts?

No. A student opens your class link, types the name you know them by and starts practicing. An account is optional and keeps their progress across devices.

What do I see as the teacher?

Who practiced and when, each student's practice test scores, the IELTS Reading topics the class is weakest on, and every question the class answered with how many missed it and which wrong answer they picked.

Can I use my own questions too?

Yes. Any account can turn its own material into a Tigertest quiz and limit it to one class, so only your students can play it.
