How can I prepare for my test?

Practise using English in a wide range of real-life situations. Focus especially on the language of your academic discipline, teaching field or vocational or other interests. Reading and listening to authentic texts (e.g. Australian newspapers and radio programs) are very important.

If you are preparing outside Australia, you can access newspapers on the web, and radio programs through your computer (go to http://www.abc.net.au/) or through Radio Australia.

We do not recommend that you prepare for an ISLPR test in the way that many candidates prepare for some other English tests (e.g. memorising tasks that they hope to get) or practising test-taking tricks.
