How is the answer to question 2 comes 10:30? Shouldn't it be 8 am because they said 8 to 10:30 am in the text?

"Earliest" is used for the occurrence of an event which may happen or has happened for the first time. This declares the minimum magnitude of time for the possible incident to come to existence. Latest is used for the occurrence of an event which may happen or has happened for the last time.
Nurlybek
Question 7: Which walk does not pass through Lower Brene?Does "10 KM WALK" count? Do I have to write kilometre?
Khushi
Please clarify question 10th. In my opinion, 'C' is right, but the 2nd one is wrong!
Bibek Pokhrel
E: Who TRAVEL to the 23rd century and back.
Drummer
Most students at Westley Business School are older than the average student. Most (80%) students are matured (older) than the rest 20%..ergo, Yes.
Jeson Koruth
It's 3 hours duration for 5 days = 15 hours.
Omar Hasan
:lol: Pre-booking specifically denotes that you have booked something in advance,

Each lecture runs from 6.00 pm to 9.00 pm (3hours) and there is one lecture each day (Monday to Friday): 5 days, so 15 hours.
Ajay Bansal
Check the starting paragraph, the last line will give you the answer.
Pallavi S
But it takes place for a week, so 3×7, it should be.
Pallavi S
Question 23# why should it be 15 hrs, can't understand. Can someone explain?
Navya
I think we should write all the answers in words as per instructions mentioned. No numbers are allowed. Am I right?
Hemalatha

This website is simple, user-friendly and easy to navigate between each link and has lots of sample questions and answers provided for learning and building our knowledge for better performance in actual IELTS exam.All the best to everyone out there folks....
Zoltan
Oh, come on. It is mentioned in the last sentence of the first paragraph. All courses listed below are free for all students enrolled.
Jose
26. Students registered at Westley Business College don’t have to pay for the preparation course. It should be NOT GIVEN. The writer doesn't mention anything about this institution 'Westley Business College" at any point. Nor he does mention that it's free for anyone registered anywhere. It only says the courses are free for the registered students at "Westley Business School". Is this a mistake or it's just me?
Zaheer
24. How many places are there every week for students who want to study computers?The answer would be 20 if the course is offered each week. My answer was "none" as the course isn't offered each week. Please guide. Thanks.
Patricio
All courses take place in August and for enrolled students, all the courses listed below are free. 22, is impossible.
FB Bond Tough
"This course is run on a “first come, first served...” Here it doesn't mean that person will book by going there. It just says that first come first served. Someone might call and pre-book it. 10 PLACES in each so book early! If you go first then only you will able to do the course. In short, "first come first served. He/she might book by calling which is pre-booking.
Praveen
Reception- for booking, Main hall - for conducting exam (Where the Exam held is the question?)
Praveen
Two courses run parallel with 10 students each for two weeks. So it's 20 students in total.
Suzy Mikhail
Concerning the question 24 - How many places are there every week for students who want to study computers? This is a 2-week course - which means that each course lasts for 2 weeks with 10 places in each course. So each course will consist of 10 students. So during the 2 weeks, there will be only 10 students. Thanks in advance for explaining more about this as I can not figure it out.
Raj
@Kaveri, The question clearly says 'All courses are held in the Westley Business School's main building'. In other words, the venue for the classes. In the reading passage, it was not given. So the answer is 'NOT GIVEN'.
Kaveri
Why is the answer to question 28 is 'NOT GIVEN'? It's given at the end that - 'YOU MUST BOOK IN ADVANCE FOR THESE COURSES AT THE WESTLEY BUSINESS SCHOOL RECEPTION'. Please clarify...
IELTS Mentor
Sabin, Instead of writing course 1, 2, 3 you can write the original course names as well.
Sabin
Can we write the name of the course instead of course 1, 2, 3? What if we write essay writing and basic math? Please explain.
Beth
Course 3 "BASIC MATHS" - "This course is run on a “first come, first served” basis and there are only 20 places"... It means that you have to be in first 20 students to attend this course and that's why you can NOT pre-book a place for yourself.
Sat
There is a note at the bottom saying "NB. UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED, YOU MUST BOOK IN ADVANCE FOR THESE COURSES AT THE WESTLEY BUSINESS SCHOOL RECEPTION."
Peppermint
There is no information on course 1 and course 2 - there is no need for pre-booking.
Peppermint
Why is 'course 3' the answer to question 22? It says that all courses require pre-booking unless otherwise stated. It does not say, you don't need to pre-book.
Wyatt
The answer is 20. It's a two-week course but it also says there are 2 courses running concurrently with only 10 PLACES in each. That means for both courses it week it is 10+10=20.
Armada
No, the answer is 15. Look carefully it is 1 lecture, not 1 hour. The timing from 6-9 = 3 hours multiplied by 5 days = 15 hours.
Duri
Would you please explain question number 24? I think the answer is 5 because it is a two week's course and there are two courses and 10 places for each course, 5 places for each week.
