A real mock is four skills under pressure — not one random reading PDF. Use this free IELTS mock test workflow on IELTS Syllabus to simulate exam day and estimate your overall band.
Suggested mock-day order
- Listening practice — section-style drills with playback.
- Reading practice — True/False/Not Given passages.
- Writing prompts — timed Task 1/2, then grade the essay.
- Speaking lab + AI speaking tool for Part 2.
- Enter raw scores in the mock test planner / band calculator.
Academic vs General Training
Reading conversion tables differ. Our band calculator supports both modules so GT candidates are not scored on Academic tables by mistake.
After the mock
Pick the lowest skill and run a 7-day loop via the study plan generator. Retake the same mock structure weekly — consistency beats downloading 50 unread PDFs.

Is this an official Cambridge mock?
No. It is a free practice simulation using our skill tools and approximate band tables.
How long should a full mock take?
About 2 hours 45 minutes for Listening/Reading/Writing, plus 11–14 minutes Speaking — same as the real test rhythm.
