Full Session

A Full Session runs Listening → Reading → Writing back to back in a single sitting, so you can practise the stamina and pacing of a real test day — not just one skill at a time.

Why no Speaking?

A Full Session covers the three written/listening papers (Listening, Reading, Writing), which on a real test day are sat consecutively. Speaking is a separate interview (often on a different day), so you take it on its own — see Speaking.

How to run one​

  1. From the mock exam hub, choose Full Session.
  2. Pick your track — Academic or General Training (this sets which Reading and Writing tests you get).
  3. Press START. The app assembles a Listening, a Reading, and a Writing test for you and links them into one session.
  4. Work through the sections in order:
    • Listening (~30 min) → Reading (60 min) → Writing (60 min).
    • Each section has its own timer; finishing or running out of time moves you to the next.
  5. When the last section is submitted, the whole session is complete and goes off for marking (Writing is AI-marked; Listening and Reading are instant).

Seeing your results​

A Full Session produces a combined results page showing each section's band score together, so you can see your profile across the three papers at once. From there you can open the per-section review just like an individual exam. See Results & review.

Good to know​

  • Set aside ~2.5 hours. It's meant to be done in one go — that's the point.
  • If a track has no available test for one of the sections, the app tells you rather than starting a broken session. Try the other track or come back later.
  • Treat it like the real thing: quiet room, no phone, no pausing. The value is in the realistic pressure.
When to use it

Do individual skills while you're learning, and save Full Sessions for the weeks close to your test — they're the best gauge of whether your timing and concentration hold up across a full paper.
