    IELTS questions reported in July 2026

    The fullest month in the archive: dated IELTS Speaking Part 1 sets and Part 2 cue cards with their Part 3 follow-ups from July 2026 sittings, eleven dated Academic Writing Task 2 prompts, and a General Training pair reported directly by a candidate in Cebu.

    Last checked 31 August 2026

    These are candidate recalls. These are questions reported by test-takers after their exams, not official or leaked IELTS material. Wording varies by test version, location and memory. Use them for timed practice — never as a prediction of what you will be asked.
