Questions
Is the IELTS mock test really free?
Yes, you can start without a card. During the beta every account has full access to all four parts; after it, a starter set of tasks stays free.
Is it like the real IELTS test?
The tasks follow the official format and timing: four Listening parts played once, 20 minutes per Reading passage, 20 and 40 minutes for Writing and a three-part Speaking interview. It is independent practice, not the official test.
How accurate is the band?
Listening and Reading bands come from correct answers and the published conversion tables. Writing and Speaking are scored against the public band descriptors; treat the band as a close guide rather than an official result.
Is it for Academic or General Training?
Listening, Speaking and Writing Task 2 are the same in both versions. Reading passages here are Academic style; Writing includes General Training letters as well as Academic charts.
