Questions
How accurate is the estimate?
Listening and Reading are marked against an answer key and converted with the published raw-score guides, scaled from a shorter section. Writing gets an automatic estimate on the four public criteria, which your teacher reads before your consultation. Expect a full test to land within about half a band.
Why is Speaking not included?
Speaking needs a real conversation. In your free 20-minute consultation we check your Speaking live and add it to this estimate.
Is this an official IELTS test?
No. Every recording, passage and task is original practice material written for IELTS Training Camp in the official computer-delivered format. For official practice, use the free materials on ielts.org.
Can I stop and come back?
Yes. Your answers are saved after each section, and we email you a private link to continue on any device. Each section's timer runs once it starts, as in the real test.
