This guide links the published January–April, May–August and September–December 2026 question banks, each on its own season page. For preparation now, start with the highlighted bank. Use this page’s season and archive links to compare earlier seasons or open the full archive.
The ten English questions on this page come from the season and region identified in the Source section. They do not cover every annual topic or part. Open a season page to filter by region, part, and keyword. Older topics remain useful for organising ideas and repeating answers, but they do not predict your next test.
Preview questions are selected from the Sep-Dec 2026 · Overseas reported practice bank. Last source update: 2026-09-21. Incrementally updated with reviewed reports through September 21. Previously published questions are retained; incomplete reports are held back.
For 2026 IELTS Speaking practice, start with the highlighted bank card. January–April and May–August provide earlier practice material; September–December is the latest published 2026 season. This page’s season and archive links keep them separate rather than merging a year into one memorisation list.
The ten-question preview is a dated sample. It is neither a complete annual question bank nor an official or leaked set of IELTS questions. Season pages show the topics actually published, without guaranteeing coverage of your test.
Older IELTS Speaking topics can help you practise explaining ideas: answer naturally, apply one feedback suggestion, retry, then test the change on a related question. Older reports are practice material, not predictions or scripts to memorise.
