## How to use free mocks well

Start with an official practice test to learn the computer-delivered screen. Then take a full mock with Writing and Speaking feedback, because those two skills are the hardest to judge yourself. Keep one fresh mock back for the week before your test, so your final check isn't on questions you've already seen.

Testmigo's [free IELTS mock](/ielts) covers all four skills with band feedback and shows which skill is holding your overall band down.

## Common questions

### Are free IELTS mock tests accurate?

Official practice tests from the British Council and IDP are the most accurate for format. For scores, use mocks that give band feedback on Writing and Speaking, since those are hardest to self-assess.

### Can I get IELTS writing feedback for free?

Some platforms include limited AI writing feedback on their free plans. Testmigo's free plan includes 100 AI scoring coins a month for Writing and Speaking, anywhere in the world.
