How accurate is the E2 IELTS mock test?

Our IELTS mock test is a full test designed by our expert IELTS teachers. It LOOKS the same, is TIMED in the same way and is SCORED in the same way. In addition to providing you EXAM SIMULATION, it will also provide you with a snapshot of your results with detailed feedback on each task.

The test will be marked by one of our TEACHERS, giving you VERY DETAILED feedback on how well you responded to EACH QUESTION TYPE and how you can IMPROVE. It will include detailed teacher feedback on all of your speaking and writing tasks/sub-tests, and you will receive a lot of information on the other sections of the test as well so you know where you're going right and wrong. 

The mock test does not represent real test scores as this depends on a number of factors that can influence your performance on test day. However, it will provide you with accurate analysis of your progress so you know how and what to improve.

When should I do it?

It is up to you, but because there is just one, we suggest the following:

Do it AT THE START of your preparation as the DIAGNOSTIC test, so you know what areas you need to work on most 

OR do it DURING your preparation as a PROGRESS CHECKER

OR do it at the end of your preparation to see whether you are READY or not for the real test (allow 48 hours for feedback!)

Listening, Reading and Writing:

Once you have purchased it, log in to your account and click on ASSESSMENTS > MOCK TEST on your left-hand side menu. Click "Start Test" to complete the listening, reading and writing components on the platform. Plan to sit for about 2 hours 30 minutes to finish them all in one go (like in the real test!). If you close the test, it will continue from the section you left off. 

Speaking:

You will do the speaking component separately, by choosing a date and time to meet one of our teachers via Zoom or Google Meet for 15 minutes. You can do this before or after the other components. 

PLEASE read this article about how your speaking session will work, so you are well prepared: How to take my speaking mock test?

What happens after?

Once you get your results and feedback from the Mock Test, continue your preparation focusing on the question types that the test has shown need the most work. It is a good idea to book a TUTORIAL after getting your results so you can discuss them more with a teacher.
