Frequently asked questions
Does a practice percentage equal an IELTS band?
No. These drills have not been calibrated to the IELTS band scale.
Can I try IELTS Academic questions for free?
Yes. Free questions: a 10-question diagnostic test covering the main units, no sign-up; at the end you get your score and your weakest units. The free practice test page lists the same questions with answers and an explanation for every option. The rest of the questions and the full mock exams come with a pass from SAR 26.

Will my writing or speaking receive an automatic band?
No. The guide provides prompts and assessment criteria for practice and feedback.
Is this an official site, and how do I pay?
It is an independent site, not part of Qiyas or any government body, and every question is reviewed before it is published. You pay once, with no automatic renewal, through Waffo Pancake (the merchant of record) by Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and your statement shows "WAFFO". If you were charged twice or the pass did not open, email support@saudiexams.com.
Study material sample: Academic Reading
Summary
Read the passage as evidence. Locate a relevant sentence, compare its meaning with every option, and check the scope of the claim.
What the exam focuses on
- Mark the purpose of each paragraph before answering a main-idea question.
- For details, compare who, when and under what conditions. Similar vocabulary alone does not establish a match.
- Distinguish a reported view from the writer’s own evaluation.
Common traps
- Reject options that change some to all, may to must, or short-term findings to permanent effects.
- A true statement may still answer a different question.
- These short drills do not reproduce the sustained reading load of a full paper.

What makes an inference defensible?
It follows from stated evidence without adding an unmentioned assumption.
How do you test a proposed heading?
Check whether it explains the function of the whole paragraph rather than one example.
