Reading
Read the passage, then answer the questions that follow. Difficulty adjusts automatically as you improve — or pick a passage yourself from the dropdown.
Writing
Draft your response, track your word count, and run through a quick self-check before you finish.
Listening
The audio, spoken aloud by your browser, plays once automatically after you start — then answer the questions.
Speaking
Practise all three parts of the speaking test. Use your microphone to record answers and play them back.
Typing speed test
A fast, accurate typing hand makes both the Writing and computer-delivered test easier. Track your words per minute here.
Click the passage above and just start typing.
Spelling practice
Listen to a word, spell what you hear, and work through as many different words as you can before the timer runs out.
Full exam
All four sections, back to back, at standard difficulty — the same timings shown on your dashboard. Once you begin, you can't switch sections or leave until every part is finished and submitted, and no scores are revealed until then either.
