IELTS practice platform
Sit timed Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking papers in the real IELTS structure, get an indicative band and criterion-level feedback on every essay and spoken answer, and see which skills are holding your band back. Academic and General Training are both covered.
Real timings, paper structure and question types for all four skills, so your practice translates on test day.
Answer-key marking on Listening and Reading; an indicative band with criterion-level AI feedback on Writing and Speaking.
See readiness, band progression and accuracy by skill, then follow the next best action.
ExamPrepIQ is an independent IELTS practice platform. It is not a test centre and does not issue official IELTS results — it gives you realistic practice in the structure of the test and tells you, skill by skill, what to work on next.
Each of the four papers can be taken on its own under exam timing. Listening and Reading are marked against the answer key the moment you submit. Writing and Speaking are assessed by AI against the published IELTS band descriptors and returned with an indicative band and feedback on each criterion. A complete mock test runs Listening, Reading and Writing in exam order (150 minutes); Speaking is taken separately, as it is in the real test, with a live AI examiner.
Everything you attempt feeds a progress report for the exam: a readiness score, your band progression on Writing and Speaking, and accuracy by skill — so your next session is chosen by evidence rather than by guesswork.
1 / 2
Start for free
Every exam on ExamPrepIQ is free to start. Sign in with Google to save your attempts.
Free questions are marked in the question list for Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking, so you can try each paper's format before deciding on a plan.
Listening and Reading sample papers are scored against the answer key straight away, with your correct count per section.
Verifying your phone number with a one-time OTP — free, and required before any AI grading — credits a one-time bonus of coins, so you can see AI-graded feedback on a real Writing or Speaking answer before spending anything.
Attempts are saved to your account, so the readiness score and skill breakdown start building from your first paper.
What you practise
Timings and question counts follow the test. Academic and General Training have their own Reading and Writing papers; Listening and Speaking are the same in both.
Four recorded sections of increasing difficulty, with the audio player built into the paper. Answered and marked against the key, with a breakdown by section.
Three passages (Academic) or three sections of shorter texts (General Training) with the full range of IELTS question types, under the real time limit.
Task 1 (a chart or diagram on Academic; a letter on General Training) and the Task 2 essay. Each submission returns an indicative band with feedback on every criterion.
Respond to spoken prompts through all three parts, or take a full voice-only mock with a live AI examiner. Each session returns an indicative band and feedback.
Inside the platform
Move from speaking practice to full exam conditions, use your progress report, then begin the cycle again.
Record a response or sit a live AI examiner session, then receive focused feedback by criterion.
Take Listening, Reading or Writing individually under realistic exam timing.
Rehearse Listening, Reading and Writing in one realistic, timed simulation and receive a combined evaluation.
Track overall readiness, performance trends and the skills that need more attention.
Then return to Speaking Test
Marking, feedback and readiness
Indicative bands are a study aid. Only an official IELTS test gives you an official score.
Every answer is checked against the key on submission. You see the correct count per section, each question's correct answer, and the skill tag a missed question was testing.
Essays and spoken answers are assessed against the published IELTS band descriptors and returned with an indicative band and written feedback on each criterion — what was done well, what cost marks, and what to change next time.
Each Writing and Speaking attempt is logged, so the progress report shows your indicative band over time — not just the latest number.
Readiness is a score out of 100 that combines skill coverage, recent accuracy, recency and consistency, with a confidence level showing how much evidence sits behind it. It describes your preparation, not a predicted result.
The report names the skill with the weakest recent evidence and points you at the paper or task that will move it.
Your streak advances only when you complete a practice test, a mock, or a set of scored questions — not when you open the app.
Free and paid
Free gives you sample questions in every paper, basic scoring, and — after phone verification — a one-time bonus of coins for AI-graded feedback.
A paid IELTS plan unlocks the full question bank, complete mock tests, AI-graded Writing and Speaking feedback with a criterion-level band score, and progress tracking. Academic and General Training are separate plans because their Reading and Writing papers differ; either plan fully unlocks Listening and Speaking. Plans are one-time purchases for 1, 3 or 12 months and never auto-renew.
Outside a plan, individual AI gradings are paid for with coins (an IELTS Writing submission is 15 coins, a Speaking feedback session 30, a complete Speaking test 60). Current prices for plans and coin packs are on the pricing page.
How it works
The same loop for every skill: baseline, diagnose, practise, retest.
Sign in with Google, choose Academic or General Training, and open Listening, Reading, Writing or Speaking — or the complete mock.
The timer, section order and question types follow the real test, so your first result is a trustworthy baseline rather than an inflated practice score.
See each answer against the key, or — for Writing and Speaking — an indicative band with feedback on every criterion.
The progress report shows readiness and accuracy by skill and names the weakest one. Practise that, retest, and watch the readiness score change.
Official information and guides
Test format, booking, fees and results change by country and by year — these guides are dated and link to the official sources.
Yes, to start. Every paper has free sample questions with basic scoring, and phone verification credits a one-time bonus of coins so you can try AI-graded Writing or Speaking feedback. The full question bank, complete mocks and unlimited progress tracking need a paid plan.
No. ExamPrepIQ is an independent practice platform and is not affiliated with the organisations that own or administer IELTS. Bands on Writing and Speaking are indicative, produced by AI against the published band descriptors, and are a study aid — not an official result.
Yes. Reading and Writing have separate Academic and General Training papers; Listening and Speaking are identical in both formats. Academic and General Training are separate plans, so pick the format you are sitting.
Your essay is assessed by AI against the four IELTS Writing criteria — task achievement or response, coherence and cohesion, lexical resource, and grammatical range and accuracy — and returned with an indicative band plus written feedback on each criterion.
You respond to spoken prompts through the microphone across all three parts, or take a full voice-only mock test with a live AI examiner. Each session returns an indicative band and feedback. Speaking needs a browser with microphone access over HTTPS.
Yes. Listening is 30 minutes, Reading 60, Writing 60, and Speaking 11–14 minutes; the complete mock runs Listening, Reading and Writing in order over 150 minutes, with Speaking taken separately as in the real test.
It is a 0–100 estimate of your preparation that combines skill coverage, recent accuracy, recency and consistency, shown with a confidence level. It describes preparation, not a predicted band, and it cannot guarantee any result.
Begin with a baseline
Your first timed paper builds the plan: a readiness score, your accuracy by skill, and a clear next session. Free to start, no card required.
