I got a diff set :

speaking section topics:

1) which is the most preferred mode of transport in your country and why ?
2) does learning to play a music instrument help a students development ( something of that sort cant recollect exactly ) - agree/disagree

writing section topics :-


1) A passage was given with the following main points :-
no of young people reading literature is declining
- they look for other alternatives that neither stimulate the imagination nor provide cultural enhancement
- Culture is declining.
- is affecting good writers and publications as well.

professor lecture - contradicting the points.
- other alternatives such as science, political analysis, history books available that are equally stimulating
- they are turning to music and movies that do provide cultural enhancement etc.
- dun blame readers - writers are writing more and more esoteric stuff so they should be blamed equally.

You need to explain how the professors points cast doubt on the claims made in passage.

1) Some people think internet provides valuable information. other think it provides too much information. Explain whether u agree or not with examples as to why.

Where did you take the ibt test: the country, city etc. I noticed that you posted the questions before the start of the test in the other forum. Usually the ibt is held at the same moment all over the world. Of course if you took the test earlier then U.S. it could have different questions.

Hey juistrain,

I just figured out why you have different questions, you took your test one day before the test in the U.S. When U.S. test taker take the test on Dec 15, it is Dec 16 in Asia or in Europe.
