IELTS on Practet - an overview

Practet covers all four IELTS skills for Academic and General Training, from short drills to a complete test day.

Ways to practise

Skill	Short practice	Full practice
Reading	Category practice: one question type (e.g. True/False/Not Given) across many passages. Section practice: one passage at a time.	Reading mock test: 3 passages, 40 questions, 60 minutes
Listening	Part practice: Part 1, 2, 3 or 4 on its own	Listening mock test: all 4 parts, 40 questions, about 30 minutes plus answer time
Writing	Task 1 or Task 2 questions on their own, marked by AI	Writing mock test: Task 1 + Task 2 together in 60 minutes
Speaking	Practice by part: Part 1, Part 2 (cue card) or Part 3 questions by topic	Speaking mock test: all three parts with an AI examiner
All four		Full Mock Test: Listening → Reading → Writing → Speaking for one overall band

Which should I use?

• Early on: use category and part practice to find and fix weak question types.
• Building stamina: move to section tests and single-skill mock tests.
• The last 2–4 weeks: take a Full Mock Test each week under exam conditions.

How scoring works

• Reading and Listening are marked instantly. Your correct answers out of 40 are converted to an IELTS band.
• Writing and Speaking are marked by AI against the four official IELTS criteria. The report is usually ready within a minute.
• AI bands are for guidance. They follow the public IELTS band descriptors, but a certified examiner may score slightly differently.
