IELTS in one view

Four skills, one connected preparation system

Each paper shows its format, marking and tested skills. Academic and General Training differences are clearly identified.

Listening 40 questions · 30 minutes Answer-key marked

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.

  • Listening for detail
  • Form and note completion
  • Multiple choice
Reading 40 questions · 60 minutes Answer-key marked

Three passages (Academic) or three sections of shorter texts (General Training) with the full range of IELTS question types, under the real time limit.

  • Matching headings
  • True / False / Not Given
  • Gap fill and summary completion
  • Matching information
Writing 2 tasks · 60 minutes AI feedback by criterion

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.

  • Task achievement / response
  • Coherence and cohesion
  • Lexical resource
  • Grammatical range and accuracy
Speaking 3 parts · 11–14 minutes AI feedback by 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.

  • Fluency and coherence
  • Lexical resource
  • Grammatical range and accuracy
  • Pronunciation
  • 22 full mock tests
  • 33 reading + listening tests
  • 44 speaking + writing tests
  • 75 total practice tests

Speaking is practised separately against the AI examiner rather than inside the mock sitting, exactly as the real test schedules it. The library shows the combined IELTS Academic and General count.

Your preparation loop

Practise, review, improve, repeat

Start with a Speaking session, an individual paper or a complete mock. Every result points towards the next useful practice session.

  1. Speaking Test

    Record a response or sit a live AI examiner session, then receive focused feedback by criterion.

  2. Individual Practice Test

    Take Listening, Reading or Writing individually under realistic exam timing.

  3. Complete Mock Test

    Rehearse Listening, Reading and Writing in one realistic, timed simulation and receive a combined evaluation.

  4. Progress report

    Track overall readiness, performance trends and the skills that need more attention.

Then return to Speaking Test

  • Timed like the real test Real timings, paper structure and question types for all four sections, so your practice translates on test day.
  • Feedback matched to the test Answer-key marking on Listening and Reading; an indicative band with criterion-level AI feedback on Writing and Speaking.
  • Progress by skill See readiness, band progression and accuracy by skill, then follow the next best action.

Feedback and access

See your band evidence—and what to improve next

Instant answer review for Listening and Reading, criterion-level AI feedback for Writing and Speaking, and progress evidence across every result.

  • Listening and Reading: answer-key marking

    Every answer is checked against the key on submission. You see the correct count per section, each question's correct answer, and what each question was testing.

  • Writing and Speaking: AI band with criterion feedback

    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.

  • Band progress that leads somewhere

    Track readiness, indicative band progression and accuracy by skill, then use the next best action to choose your next paper or Speaking session.

IELTS practice questions, answered

Is the IELTS practice free?

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.

Does ExamPrepIQ give an official IELTS score?

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.

Do you cover both Academic and General Training?

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.

How is Writing feedback produced?

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.

How does Speaking practice work online?

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.

Are the papers timed like the real test?

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.

What does the readiness score mean?

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.
