## Getting a band you can trust

* Listening and Reading are easy to self-mark: convert your raw score out of 40 with our [band score calculator](/ielts/band-score-calculator).
* Writing and Speaking are where free tests fall short. Get at least one [Writing task](/ielts/writing) and one Speaking test marked before test day.
* Record your [Speaking answers](/ielts/speaking) and listen back for pauses and repeated words.
* Sit one mock in a single sitting to practise stamina: the whole test takes about 2 hours 45 minutes.

## FAQs

Is there a free official IELTS mock test?

Yes. The British Council's IELTS Ready gives two full mock tests with a free account, and ielts.org has a full Listening and Reading test online.

Can I get my IELTS Writing checked for free?

E2 Language's free mock includes teacher marking of Writing, and our [free IELTS mock](/ielts/practice-test) band-scores both Writing tasks with feedback. Official samples only show example answers.

How do I work out my IELTS band from a practice test?

Convert Listening and Reading raw scores out of 40 to bands, add your Writing and Speaking bands, and average the four, rounding to the nearest half band. Our IELTS band score calculator does this for you.
