Mock exams
All four skills in the real format and timing, marked with a band score for each skill and overall, and detailed feedback so you know exactly what to work on.
Real exam format and authentic audio.
Authentic passages and question types.
Detailed feedback to help you improve.
A live examiner and AI feedback.
Weekly guessing questions with tips and lexicals.
Four recordings, from an everyday conversation to an academic lecture. The audio plays once, just like the real test, and you answer while you listen, with two minutes at the end to check your answers.
Three long academic passages with the question types you will meet in the exam. The passage and questions sit side by side, and you can highlight text as you read.
Task 1 asks you to describe a chart or diagram in at least 150 words; Task 2 is an essay of at least 250 words. A live word count helps you pace yourself, with no spell checker, as in the computer-delivered test.
An examiner asks you the questions out loud: an interview, a two-minute talk on a topic card after one minute to prepare, and a discussion. You can ask for a question to be repeated once.
Individual skills
Practise Listening, Reading, Writing or Speaking on its own, with the same timing, marking and feedback as in a full mock.
How a mock works
Read the exam tips first; your 12-hour window starts after them, or when you open your first test.
Take the four parts in any order within the 12 hours. We recommend one sitting, like the real exam.
Each test has its own timer that cannot be paused, and your answers save automatically as you work.
Within two hours of your last part, after an instructor has reviewed the marking, you get your band scores, a full report and feedback for every skill.
Your detailed report
You don’t just get a score. Every mock comes with a full written report on your performance, checked twice and reviewed by one of our instructors, who adds personal comments for you.
A band for Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking, an overall band and a score summary for the whole mock.
Writing Task 1 and Task 2 corrected sentence by sentence: what you wrote, the corrected sentence and why.
Vocabulary to practise for your topics, with an example for every word or phrase, so you can use it in your next answer.
The grammar mistakes you made most often and the sentence structures that will raise your score.
How smoothly you spoke and organised your ideas, measured live while you answered the Speaking questions.
How clear and easy to follow your speech was, with advice on what to practise.
Clear steps for each skill, what to avoid, and every Listening and Reading question you missed, with the correct answer.
Short practice activities of 5 to 15 minutes that target your weakest areas, so you know what to do after the mock.
