01 · Listening
Hear it once. Answer on screen.
About 30 minutes · Play-once audio
Put on headphones, run the volume check, then work through the parts while the recording
plays. There is no extra transfer time — type as you listen. The navigation bar keeps every
question one tap away until the section clock ends.
Auto-scored from the answer key when you submit
02 · Reading
Passage left. Questions right.
About 60 minutes · Academic split view
Academic texts sit beside the question set — the layout candidates meet in computer IELTS.
Move between parts freely, highlight if you need, and keep an eye on the timer.
When time is up, the portal moves you on.

03 · Writing
Task 1 and Task 2. Word count live.
About 60 minutes · Autosave · No spell-check
Switch between tasks when both are available. Your text saves as you type.
Charts and prompts appear beside the editor — just like the real computer test —
so you practise composition under exam constraints, not a word processor.
Marked by Hawthorn teachers (or AI Instant where enabled)
04 · Speaking
Live examiner, recorded CBT, or AI Instant.
Flexible delivery · Set per mock
Your lobby shows how Speaking is delivered for that assignment: book a face-to-face slot
with a Hawthorn examiner, record Parts 1 & 2 on your device for teacher marking,
or take an AI Instant conversational path when the centre offers it.
