Free IELTS mock test online — with a band score for all four parts
Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking in exam order, with exam timers. At the end you get a band for every part — Writing and Speaking included, not just the answer-key sections. Your first full mock is free.
What’s inside: four parts, in exam order
The same sequence and timings as the real IELTS. About 2 h 45 min in total, in one sitting.
- Listening~30 min
Recordings play once, like on test day.
- Reading60 min
40 questions. Choose Academic or General Training before you start.
- Writing60 min
Task 1 and Task 2, graded on the four official criteria, with your mistakes marked in the text.
- Speaking11–14 min
A live conversation with Turna, the AI examiner: Parts 1, 2 and 3.
Total: about 2 h 45 min. Resume where you stopped.
What you get at the end
- Overall band, calculated with the official IELTS rounding.
- Four part bands: Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking.
- Where you lose points, part by part.
- Next steps: what to work on before the real exam.
How it differs from a paper practice test
A printed or PDF practice test gives you answer keys for Listening and Reading. Writing and Speaking can’t be marked with a key, so you are left guessing your band — or looking for a teacher.
| Paper practice test | BandCheck mock | |
|---|---|---|
| Listening & Reading | Answer key; you count and convert | Marked automatically, converted to a band |
| Writing | No mark unless a teacher checks it | Band on the four official criteria, mistakes marked |
| Speaking | Nobody to talk to | Live conversation with Turna, Parts 1–3 |
| Timing | Your own stopwatch | Exam-style timers for every part |
| Overall band | Guesswork | Official rounding |

Frequently asked questions
Is the IELTS mock test really free?
Yes. Your first full mock — all four parts, with bands at the end — is free. You sign in with Google and no card is needed. Further mocks are included in a pass: 1 month for $3.99 or 3 months for $9.99, paid once, with no subscription.
How accurate is the band score?
Bands are AI estimates. Writing is graded on the four official criteria and Speaking is assessed from a live conversation with Turna, the AI examiner, but your official result may differ. Use the mock to find weak spots and practise under exam conditions, not as a guaranteed prediction.
Can I split the mock test across several days?
No. Like the real exam, it's one sitting: Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking, in that order, each part with its own timer. If your connection drops, reopen the exam and carry on with the same part — the timer keeps running. The sitting closes automatically about 9 hours after you start; any part you haven't taken by then is marked as skipped, and there is no overall band without all four parts.
Academic or General Training?
You choose the Reading module yourself: Academic or General Training. Listening and Speaking are the same for both.
How long does the full mock take?
About 2 hours 45 minutes: Listening around 30 minutes, Reading 60, Writing 60 and Speaking 11–14. You take it in one sitting, like the real exam.
Do I need a microphone?
Yes, for Speaking: it is a live spoken conversation with the AI examiner, so you need a working microphone. For Listening, headphones and a quiet room help, because each recording plays only once.
Is the Speaking mock scored too?
Yes. The Speaking part is a live conversation with Turna covering Parts 1 to 3, and you get a Speaking band along with the other three part bands and your overall band.
Is this the official IELTS test?
No. BandCheck is an independent practice platform and is not affiliated with IDP, the British Council or Cambridge. The mock follows the IELTS format so you can practise, but it does not give you an official certificate.
