FAQ

IELTS Academic mock test — frequently asked questions

IELTS Academic consists of four sections: Listening (30 min + 10 min transfer), Reading (60 min 3 academic passages), Writing (60 min Task 1 graph/chart description + Task 2 essay) and Speaking (11–14 min face-to-face with an examiner). Total test time is approximately 2 hours 45 minutes. Completing an IELTS Academic mock test before your official exam is one of the best ways to become familiar with the format.

For the Australian 189 Skilled Independent visa, you need an IELTS band score of 8.0 or above in each of the four skills to earn 20 immigration points. A band of 7.0–7.5 earns 10 points. Our IELTS Academic mock test free provides an AI-scored band estimate so you can measure your readiness before booking the official exam.

IELTS Academic uses more complex academic reading passages and a graph/chart Writing Task 1. IELTS General Training uses everyday reading texts and a letter-writing Task 1. For Australian skilled migration (189/190/491 visas), you can use either. For university admission, IELTS Academic is typically required. Practising with an IELTS Academic mock test helps you prepare for the academic version of the exam.

Each of the four skills (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking) is scored on a band scale from 0 to 9 in half-band increments (e.g., 6.0, 6.5, 7.0). Listening and Reading are scored from raw marks. Writing and Speaking are assessed by certified IELTS examiners against published band descriptors. An IELTS Academic mock test lets you experience these scoring criteria before taking the official IELTS exam.

For paper-based IELTS, Speaking is usually taken within 7 days before or after the other sections (on a different day). For Computer-Delivered IELTS (CD IELTS), Speaking can be taken on the same day. Check availability at your test centre when booking. Before your exam, taking an IELTS Academic mock test can help you feel more confident with all four sections.
