The question
Did you enjoy science at school?
Do you follow science news?
How to answer it
This question has come back: candidates reported it on 7 July 2026, 25 August 2026. Questions that repeat across sittings are the ones worth rehearsing properly.
Only two questions surfaced in the recall, so expect one or two more on the day. Have a position on school science (which subject and why) and one recent story you can name in a sentence — a mission, a treatment, a climate finding. Specific beats enthusiastic.
What moves the band
- School-subject lexis: I got on well with biology, chemistry went over my head, hands-on experiments.
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.
