Academic & General Training

The closest thing to
sitting the real exam.

Most practice tools let you pause mid-section, skip questions, and check answers as you go. We don't — because you can't do any of that on test day. The timer runs, the questions lock, and you get your score when it's done.

What's included

It works the same way the real exam does

Timer runs continuously. Questions lock on submission. Auto-submits when time's up. No pausing, no skipping back between sections.

Real Time Pressure

Listening 30 min, Reading 60 min, Writing 60 min. The clock runs the whole time and submits automatically when it hits zero.

Official Band Scoring

Reading and Listening are scored using the official IELTS raw score conversion tables — the same ones used in the actual test.

Answer Explanations

Each wrong answer comes with an explanation. Not just the right answer — why yours was wrong, and why each other option doesn't work either.

Expert Writing Feedback

Writing and Speaking attempts are scored on the four official IELTS criteria. You get a band for each one, not just an overall.

Weakness Detection

After each attempt, your dashboard shows accuracy by question type. It's usually obvious pretty fast where you're losing marks.

No Cost

Everything on the site is free. We're not building up to a paywall or a premium tier.

What students say

From people who've used it

"The timed mock exams changed how I approach the test. I stopped panicking because I'd already felt that pressure dozens of times."

Sarah K.

Band 7.5 — University of Melbourne

"The explanations are what make it different. I finally understood why I kept getting TFNG questions wrong — not just that I got them wrong."

Mehmet A.

Band 8.0 — Imperial College London

"The weakness tracker told me exactly which question types I was failing. I drilled those for two weeks and my band jumped by 0.5."

Priya R.

Band 7.0 — University of Toronto
