Are the tests really free?
+
Yes. There are 100 full tests: 50 Academic and 50 General Training. Tests 1–3 of each are completely free — no sign-up, no card. Tests 4–50 come with the Skillora IELTS Full Practice Test Pack (৳1,500 for three months), and they are included for every student on a paid Skillora course.
How is my band score calculated?
+
Listening and Reading are marked instantly and converted to a band with the standard raw-score-to-band tables. Writing and Speaking are assessed by an AI examiner against the four official criteria, with a comment on each. Treat the result as a reliable estimate, not an official IELTS score.
Are these real Cambridge or past IELTS papers?
+
No. Every test is original, written by Skillora English in the official IELTS format, with the same timing, sections and question types — so you practise the real exam without reusing copyrighted papers.
Academic or General Training — which should I take?
+
Academic is for university study and professional registration. General Training is for work, training and migration. Listening and Speaking are the same in both; Reading and Writing Task 1 differ.
How do I buy the test pack?
+
Press "Unlock", send the amount by bKash, Nagad or Rocket and enter the Transaction ID. Once we verify it you get an email, and Tests 4–50 unlock automatically when you sign in.
Can I take a test more than once?
+
Yes. Retake any test you have access to as often as you like, and compare your band scores over time.
Is there a quick way to check my level?
+
Yes. The free band check is one Listening part and one Reading passage — about 25 minutes, no sign-up. You get an estimated band and every answer explained. A full test gives a more reliable band.
Do you explain the answers?
+
Yes. After a test, every Listening and Reading answer shows why it is right — the paraphrase, the trap, why the other options are wrong — with the exact line highlighted in the recording transcript or passage.
How do I find my weak areas?
+
Sign in and open My progress. It shows your accuracy for every question type across all the tests you have taken, sends you to the parts that drill your weakest types, and builds a week-by-week plan to your exam date.
Is General Training Reading marked the same way as Academic?
+
No. General Training Reading has its own band table: because the texts are easier, you need more correct answers for the same band (about 34 out of 40 for band 7, against about 30 in Academic). Our tests use the right table for each, and the free band score calculator shows both.
How many words do I need for Writing?
+
At least 150 words for Task 1 and 250 for Task 2. Our free Writing word counter checks your answer against the minimum and times you like the exam.
Can I practise just one module?
+
Yes. Choose Listening, Reading, Writing or Speaking in the menu: you see every test for that module, and each one opens straight into it. Listening and Reading can also be practised one part or passage at a time. After each test you see why every answer is right, with the evidence highlighted in the recording transcript or passage.
Which device should I use?
+
A laptop or desktop gives the closest experience to computer-delivered IELTS. You will need headphones for Listening and a microphone for Speaking.
Is Skillora connected to IELTS?
+
No. Skillora English is an independent English-training provider. IELTS is a registered trademark of the British Council, IDP and Cambridge University Press & Assessment, who do not endorse these tests.
