What a full mock covers
Each mock follows the General Training order and timing: Listening, Reading, Writing, then Speaking. Listening and Reading are marked against an answer key and converted to bands. Writing and Speaking receive AI feedback, as an independent practice estimate rather than an official result.
There are 50 full mock tests for IELTS General Training, and the first mock is free. Alongside the mocks, there are 200 practice sets per exam for exam-style work on each part, section or task.
Practise one section at a time
Tips that work
- Take at least one mock under full timed conditions to test your stamina across all four skills.
- Review every wrong Listening and Reading answer and note the question type.
- Compare your Writing feedback across mocks to see whether the same criterion keeps holding you back.
- Leave a few days between mocks and use practice sets to fix weak areas in between.
Questions candidates ask
Is the first IELTS General Training mock really free?
Yes. Mock 1, the first of the 50 full mock tests, is free to take, so you can try a complete exam-style test before deciding on more practice.
Are the mock scores official IELTS results?
No. They are independent practice estimates from EnglishHub.io. They show how you are performing on exam-style tasks, but only the official test produces an IELTS result.
Should I take General Training or Academic?
It depends on what the organisation you are applying to requires. General Training is commonly requested for work and migration and Academic for study, but always check the requirement with that organisation.
