For tutorials on how to write well, however, much of the best instruction comes from test prep companies, including Magoosh. In this post, we&#8217;ll look at all of the top official and unofficial sources of stellar IELTS Writing prep.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #4D2079\">Real, Official IELTS Writing Questions<\/h2>\n<p>As I mentioned above, the highest quality practice questions come from official sources. One excellent way to get your hands on official questions is to purchase Cambridge IELTS prep books with practice tests, since these tests will include Writing sections.<\/p>\n<p>But the makers of the IELTS (Cambridge, British Council, and IELTS IDP) also offer quite a few free IELTS Writing questions online. Below is a roundup of pages from the four official IELTS websites where you can get official practice questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/takeielts.britishcouncil.org\/take-ielts\/prepare\/free-ielts-practice-tests\/writing\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">British Council Practice Tests for IELTS (Writing Sections)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ielts.org\/en-us\/usa\/ielts-for-test-takers\/ielts-practice-test\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The IELTS.org practice test<\/a> (click on the Academic or GT Writing tabs in the middle of the screen)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ielts.org\/en-us\/for-test-takers\/sample-test-questions\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IELTS.org sample practice questions for the paper IELTS<\/a> (again, click on the appropriate tabs)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ielts.org\/en-us\/about-ielts\/ielts-on-computer\/sample-test-questions\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IELTS.org sample practice questions for the computer-delivered IELTS<\/a> (You guessed it&#8211; click the Academic or General Training Writing tabs!)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ielts.idp.com\/prepare\/practice-tests\/new-practice-tests\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IELTS IDP Practice Questions for IELTS CDT<\/a> (Scroll down to Writing near the bottom of the page&#8211; Academic Writing only!)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/files\/5813\/8080\/3238\/step-up-to-ielts-resources-practice-test-the-academic-writing-test.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cambridge.org IELTS Academic Writing Section (PDF)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/files\/9913\/8080\/3242\/step-up-to-ielts-resources-practice-test-the-general-training-writing-test.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cambridge.org IELTS General Training Academic Writing Section (PDF)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Between these different online IELTS Writing resources, you can get 25 free IELTS Writing Practice questions. The websites that host these practice materials also have additional tutorials and skills-building activities for Writing. For more info on these sites see my article on <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/use-four-official-ielts-websites\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">how to use the four main official IELTS websites<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #4D2079\">Books That Can Help You With IELTS Writing<\/h2>\n<p>I honestly haven&#8217;t been able to find that many great IELTS Writing resources when it comes to books that focus exclusively on the Writing section. The good news is that there are still plenty of books that offer stellar IELTS Writing practice, tips, and tricks. It&#8217;s just that the best IELTS Writing resources in print are &#8220;whole IELTS books,&#8221; with really good Writing chapters. For a review of my top picks for IELTS books that offer Writing support, see <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/best-ielts-preparation-books\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Magoosh&#8217;s page of IELTS book reviews<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #4D2079\">IELTS Writing Resources for the Different Question Types<\/h2>\n<p>Each of the three IELTS Writing tasks (Academic Task 1, General Training task 1, and Task 2) have a few different possible question types. Below are some IELTS Writing resources for these question types, including example questions and model essays for each type.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/ielts-writing-task-1-sample-questions-practice-resources\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Types of IELTS Writing Questions (Task 1, Academic)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/example-letters-for-ielts-general-training-test-writing-task-1\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Types of IELTS Writing Questions (Task 1, General Training)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/ielts-writing-task-2-question-types\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Question Types for the Second IELTS Writing Task<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"color: #4D2079\">IELTS Writing Resources: The Writing Process<\/h2>\n<p>Writing a good IELTS essay involves <em>prewriting<\/em>&#8212; the process of brainstorming ideas and creating a rough outline of your essay. It also requires actual writing, of course&#8211; putting those prewritten ideas into a well-structured response. Right here on our IELTS Blog, Magoosh offers a lot of great IELTS Writing resources for the writing process, from your first thoughts to the finished essay:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #C5168C\">Task 1 (Academic)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/ielts-writing-task-1-paragraph-structure\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Paragraph Structure in the First IELTS Academic Writing Task<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/score-ielts-academic-writing-task-1-band-9\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">How to Get a Band 9 in Task 1 (Academic)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"color: #C5168C\">Task 1 (General Training)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/general-training-task-1-formal-vs-semi-formal-letters\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">How to Take a Formal or Semiformal Tone in the first IELTS Writing task in General Training<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"color: #C5168C\">Task 2<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/brainstorming-ideas-ielts-task-2-essay\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brainstorming Essay Topics for IELTS Writing Task 2<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/the-best-ielts-task-2-writing-template\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Best IELTS Writing Task 2 Template<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/ielts-writing-task-2-how-to-structure-body-paragraph\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">How to Write the Body Paragraphs in a Writing Task 1 Essay<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"color: #4D2079\">IELTS Writing Resources for Vocabulary and Word Choice<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes half the battle of writing a good IELTS essay is simply finding the right words.
