IELTS prep mini readiness test.
Take Lipi's free online IELTS mini test before you pay. Choose the IELTS band you want, see where you stand, then train toward that target with a course built around progressive mock tests.
- Eligibility assumes you completed schooling in English, or studied English as a formal school language.
- If the free check shows weak English foundations, start Lipi's 60-day Learn English course first, then return to IELTS / TOEFL prep.
- When the full pre-purchase mock is live, guarantee eligibility may require a minimum Lipi readiness score before buying the course.
- Your target is saved before the mock path starts and cannot be changed midway.
- Mocks unlock in sequence, and later mocks are stricter than earlier ones.
- If you do not clear a mock, Lipi sends you back to the practice areas that need more work.
This is exam-readiness, not school English.
A real IELTS attempt punishes missed details, weak structure, unclear speech, and careless grammar. Lipi gives a slightly strict score so you know whether you are ready for your own target band.
IELTS format
- Tests the same four skills: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.
- More varied question styles: matching, blanks, labels, short answers and MCQs.
- Mix of academic and real-world English, with international accents.
- Speaking is a live interview style, so natural conversation matters.
What Lipi checks first
- Can you catch details from one-play listening without guessing?
- Can you choose answers from evidence, not familiar-looking words?
- Can you write clean exam sentences under time pressure?
- Can you speak clearly with natural pauses and complete ideas?
Why Lipi works for IELTS first
IELTS rewards strong English control across listening, reading, writing and speaking. Lipi trains that common core first, then exposes you to IELTS-style tasks: UK and international listening voices, varied question types, typed responses, recorded speaking practice, and strict readiness scoring before you pay for the full course. TOEFL support is included inside the same paid course.
How Lipi decides exam-ready
Your target is saved before the mock path starts. Each mock becomes tougher, and the next mock opens only after you clear the required score. If you do not clear it, Lipi points you back to the listening, reading, speaking or writing practice that needs more work.
| Section | IELTS Academic style | How Lipi trains it |
|---|---|---|
| Reading | Long academic passages with varied question types: headings, matching, blanks, short answers and True/False/Not Given. | Proof-first reading drills train evidence, inference and trap avoidance before timed mocks. |
| Listening | Everyday and academic recordings with international accents; answers are often captured while listening. | One-play audio, note-taking discipline, UK/international voices, and stricter recall questions. |
| Speaking | Interview-style answers with a human examiner: natural rhythm, examples and opinion clarity matter. | Same-text voice match, emotion/punctuation rhythm, pause control, and timed answer structure. |
| Writing | Task 1 report/letter plus Task 2 essay, with structure and grammar accuracy. | Sentence control, typed response checks, clear claim-reason-example structure and strict readiness scoring. |
