IELTS Practice Tests can provide you with the preparation you need to do well in the IELTS exam.
The tests vary slightly because if you are wanting to study abroad you take the Academic Module but if you are taking it for general immigration purposes such as for work you take the General Training Module.
Also check out these videos of IELTS tests with answers.
These tests are a chance for you to practice tests based more fully on the official IELTS based computer test:
In a full reading test there are a total of three reading passages which you have to do in 60 minutes.
Each one of these is just one reading passage, so if you were doing it under timed conditions it should take 20 minutes. So doing three of them would be a full reading test.
These tests are not through IELTS buddy, but are a chance for you to practice tests based on the official IELTS based computer test:
Unlike academic reading, the sections of the general reading test differ in structure, so this is a full IELTS General Training Reading Practice Test.
The British Council also has a reading practice test for IELTS General Training:
In the academic part of the test you have to describe some kind of graph, diagram or map (Task 1) and write an essay (Task 2).
In the general part you have to write a letter (Task 1) and write an essay (Task 2).

In part two you have to speak for two minutes on a topic the examiner gives you. In part three you have a two-way discussion with the examiner on more complicated topics related to your part two topic.
