A free account is required — each section is marked and saved to your history.

The format

Four sections, one sitting

You move through the sections in exam order, and every one of them is the complete, full-length test — the same four papers, at the same lengths, as exam day.

SectionIn this mockTime
ListeningAll 4 parts, 40 questions, played straight throughSame as the real exam (30 min audio + 2 min to check)≈ 32 minutes
Reading3 full passages, 40 questions — the complete testSame as the real exam60 minutes
WritingTask 1 + Task 2, one clock — the complete testSame as the real exam60 minutes
SpeakingAll 3 parts — questions, long turn, discussionReal exam: 3 parts with an examiner, 11–14 min≈ 14 minutes
An honest note: every section now runs at full length, but two things still differ from exam day. Your Speaking partner is a recording prompt rather than a live examiner, so there are no follow-up questions read off your answers; and Listening and Reading are generated papers, not retired official ones. Sit at least one official practice test as well before your exam day.

What you get

A band for every skill

  • All four skills in one guided sitting
  • A band for each section as you complete it
  • An overall band — the average of your section bands
  • Reading and Writing at full, real-exam length
  • Your reports saved to your history
  • One place to see where you stand before exam day

On the free plan

One full mock, no separate limit

There is no special mock-exam quota. The sitting simply draws on your normal free allowances — the free Reading mock, your monthly Writing and Speaking checks, and the daily practice cap — which is realistically enough for one complete mock. Pro members can repeat it as often as they like and see full band measurement on every section.

The IELTS mock test — common questions

How long does the IELTS full mock exam take?

About 2 hours 45 minutes — the same as the real thing. All four sections now run at full length: Listening is the whole 4-part paper, Reading and Writing are 60 minutes each, and Speaking is the complete 3-part interview.

Is the mock exam the same length as the real IELTS?

Yes. Listening is the full 4-part paper, Reading is 3 passages and 40 questions, Writing is Task 1 plus Task 2 in 60 minutes, and Speaking is the full 3-part interview. Two things still differ from exam day: your Speaking partner is a recording rather than a live examiner, and the Listening and Reading papers are generated to the official spec rather than retired official ones.

Do I get a band score for each section?

Yes. Each section is banded as you complete it, and the sitting ends with an overall band — the average of your section bands, rounded on the official half-band rule.

Is this IELTS mock test free?

Yes, once. There is no separate mock quota — the sitting draws on your normal free allowances, which is realistically enough for one complete mock. Pro removes the limit and shows full band measurement on every section.

Do I need an account to sit the mock exam?

Yes, a free one. Every section is marked and saved to your history, which needs somewhere to save it. This intro page is open to everyone.
