Full IELTS mock test

IELTS mock test online – feel test day before it comes

Sit a complete IELTS exam at home in the real computer-delivered format: full screen, a live countdown, the Listening recording played once and automatic submission at 0:00. Your Listening and Reading bands appear the moment you finish.

How the IELTS test day runs

A mock test is most useful when it copies the real order and timing. On test day you take Listening, Reading and Writing back to back, with no breaks in between.
  1. About 30 minutes + 2 minutes to check

    Four recordings, 40 questions. The audio plays once.

  2. 60 minutes

    Three passages, 40 questions. No extra transfer time.

  3. 60 minutes

    Task 1 (150+ words) and Task 2 (250+ words).

  4. 11–14 minutes

    A live interview – often on another day.

Simulation mode: the real conditions

  • Opens full screen with a live countdown
  • The Listening recording plays once – no pausing
  • Two minutes to check your Listening answers at the end
  • The test submits itself when time runs out
  • Highlight, take notes and flag questions for review
  • Band score, correct answers and transcript as soon as you finish

How to take a mock test at home

  1. Use a laptop or desktop and headphones. That’s what you’ll use in a computer-delivered test centre, and it makes typing answers realistic.
  2. Take Listening, Reading and Writing in one sitting. Concentrating for nearly three hours is a skill in itself.
  3. Don’t pause or look anything up. The point is an honest band you can trust.
  4. Review every mistake. Read the transcript for each Listening answer you missed and find the sentence in the passage for each Reading answer.
  5. Track the trend, not one score. Your dashboard combines all four skills into an overall band and shows how it moves week by week.
