The IELTS Reading Test is usually scheduled the same day as the listening and writing tests. There are two different tests, the academic module and the general module.
Like the other parts of the exam, practice makes perfect.
With practice you will develop the 3 most important skills, skimming, scanning and reading for detail. You will also learn to manage your time effectively.
