How to work with these Reading Practice tests
You can preview the texts for each part (e.g. all 4 Part A texts) first before you start the exercise.
“Start” the exercise and the questions will appear under the texts. The texts will remain visible as you answer the questions.
Click “Finish” / “Confirm Finish” when done and you will see the answers and your score.
NOTE: if you start an exercise, you must finish it and click “Finish” before you will be allowed to move on to another part. BUT you can do the practice papers or parts A, B and C in any order you wish.
