Can I take practice tests for the Speaking and Writing skills?

To help you get familiar with the exam, Prep has developed the Exam Mode feature, which closely simulates the real exam, allowing you to practice before the actual test.

The Writing Practice Exam Mode will be launched soon. Stay tuned to experience the Writing practice exam at Prep, just like in the real test!

To use the Exam Room Mode, please follow these steps:

• Step 2: After selecting your desired set of tests, click on Test (1) to start practicing the test, or click on View More (2) to see the details of the tests in the set. Once you access the test set, click on Start (3) or Preview the test (4). In the Mode Selection section, choose Exam Mode (5), then click Start (6) to begin the practice test in Exam Mode.

• Step 3: To start the test, check your device and allow Prep’s website to use our microphone (1) to ensure the best test experience. Read the sample sentence for the system to confirm that the device has been given permission. When the audio quality is good, click Start Now (2) to move to the Instructions screen, then click Start (3) to begin the exam.

The Exam Mode is designed by Prep to closely simulate the actual exam. Keep the following in mind to ensure a smooth exam experience:

1. The system will automatically hide suggestions and sample answers during the exam

2. The countdown timer will be the same as the actual exam.

3. The exam will be automatically submitted once the time runs out

4. The questions will be automatically read aloud, and the question prompt will be hidden
