Reading Practice — Frequently Asked Questions
What CEFR level should I start at?
If you are unsure about your current level, take our free 3-minute English Level Test. It assesses your reading ability and recommends a CEFR level (A1–C2) so you start with exercises that match your skills.
How long does each reading exercise take?
Most exercises take 5–15 minutes depending on the passage length and number of questions. Lower levels (A1–A2) tend to be shorter with simpler texts, while advanced levels (C1–C2) and exam preparation passages are longer and more detailed.
Are these exercises suitable for IELTS preparation?
Yes. We offer a dedicated IELTS Reading section with passages and question types that mirror the real exam, including True/False/Not Given, matching headings, and multiple choice. The B2–C1 CEFR levels also align well with typical IELTS difficulty.
What types of questions are included?
Exercises include multiple choice, True/False/Not Given, gap fills, matching headings, short answer, and sentence completion. Question types vary by level and topic to build well-rounded comprehension skills.
Can I practice reading on my phone?
Yes. All reading exercises are fully responsive and work on phones, tablets, and desktops. You can practice anywhere — your progress is saved automatically when you are logged in.
How is reading practice different from vocabulary or grammar practice?
Reading exercises focus on understanding meaning in context — identifying main ideas, supporting details, and the author’s purpose. While you will naturally encounter new vocabulary and grammar structures, the goal is comprehension of connected text rather than isolated language points.
