Notes:
1. The answers on the familiarisation tests are not saved when you move between question types. On the actual test, answers will be saved.
2. The familiarisation tests are timed and are a very close representation of the actual computer-delivered IELTS test.
3. It is possible to use the search function (Ctrl F) in the familiarisation test, but not in the real test.
4. Ensure internet/wifi access is available in order to run the familiarisation tests
