IELTS has introduced fresh updates for 2025–2026, focusing on real‑life communication and modern topics. Speaking questions now feel more natural and spontaneous, Listening tasks reflect everyday situations, and Writing places greater weight on clarity and logical flow. With expanded digital testing options, the exam is more flexible, relevant, and aligned with how English is used today.

To score above Band 6 in IELTS Reading, focus on understanding ideas—not just vocabulary. Practice with passages that train skimming, scanning, and inference skills.
