Your mock test progress
Take all four (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking) in order for a realistic test day, about 2 hours 45 minutes, or practise one skill at a time. We email you the result of each part, and your progress is saved in this browser.
How Mock Test 2 works
The four skills come in the same order as on test day, and every question is new:
- Listening (about 30 minutes): a course booking, a nature reserve talk, a student discussion and a lecture on sleep and memory.
- Reading (60 minutes): desert plants, the story of glass and the psychology of queuing.
- Writing (60 minutes): a bar chart about household waste and an essay about free museums.
- Speaking (11–14 minutes): new questions about your home town, the weather, music and a place you would like to visit again.
You can do all four in one go or one at a time: your progress is saved in this browser. Use the same email address for all four parts, and we email you your overall score when all four are marked.
Comparing your two mock tests
Mock Test 2 uses the same timing and the same marking as Mock Test 1, so you can see which skills are getting better. Small changes up or down are normal between any two tests. All scores are estimated practice scores, not official IELTS results; the Writing and Speaking scores come from our AI marker, for learners aged 18 and over.
