Before you start
The timer runs on the server, so refreshing will not give you extra time. Listening audio plays a fixed number of times, as set for this practice paper.
Total: 40 minutes · section time adds up to 32 min.
No timer. Audio can be replayed freely and answers are explained immediately.
The play count and the seek and pause rules are stored on each section rather than hard-coded in the player, so an editor can change them without a deployment.
Your result
A score is the least useful part of a mock examination. The report is built to change what you study tomorrow.
A score per section and per skill, so a listening problem cannot hide behind a good reading result.
Accuracy broken down by question type — matching, cloze, ordering, true/false — because they fail for different reasons.
The exact words the wrong answers tested, taken from the diagnostic tags on each question.
The patterns behind the wrong answers, each linking straight to its grammar lesson.
Where you stalled. A slow correct answer is a different problem from a fast wrong one.
