This page works like Lerno. Each practice you try earns XP.

Reading

Every answer, explained.

Real IELTS question types. After you finish, Lerno shows the right answer, the sentence in the passage that proves it, and the skill you need to work on. Try one question.

A Reading result: the answer, the sentence in the passage that proves it, and the skill tags — Reading result page

Listening

Hear every word.

Four parts, like the real test. After you finish, read the audioscript and play it again. Each word lights up as you hear it.

A Listening result with the audioscript open and the spoken word lit up — Listening audioscript

Writing

Marked like the real exam.

Task 1 and Task 2. Lerno marks your writing against the four IELTS criteria and quotes your own sentences. Every fix shows what you wrote, a better version, and why.

A Writing review: fixes with the learner's sentence, a better version and the reason, and a band estimate for each criterion — Example review

Speaking

An examiner asks. You answer.

You hear the question and record your answer. Lerno writes down what you said, marks it against the IELTS criteria, and shows the phrases to fix.

A Speaking review: the marked transcript with a play button and a band estimate — Example review

Mock Exams

Earn your Mock Exams.

A Mock Exam is all four sections at real exam timing, with a band for each section. Every practice adds XP. When you have enough XP, the next Mock Exam opens.

You opened Mock 1 on this page. In Lerno you do it with real practice.
