How it works
CD IELTS preparation in three steps
From a free account to a marked, exam-style attempt — without leaving your browser.
Create a free account
Sign up in a minute — no card required. Every module comes with a free practice item so you can try the platform before paying anything.
Practise in the real CD format
Timed sections, a question palette, flagging, highlights and one-play audio — the same controls the computer-delivered test puts in front of you.
See your result straight away
Listening and Reading are marked instantly with exact rule-based scoring. Writing gets algorithmic feedback, and Speaking recordings are saved for review.
The four modules
Every IELTS module, practised on screen
Each module recreates the computer-delivered interface, so practice time doubles as interface time.
Listening
Audio plays once, exactly like the real test. Type your answers as you listen, then use the review time deliberately.
- 60+ listening practice days
- One-play audio with a final review window
- Instant, rule-based marking on submit
Reading
Passages sit beside the questions in a split view, with the highlights, notes and flagging tools the computer test gives you.
- 60+ reading practice days
- Highlights, private notes and question flagging
- Instant, rule-based marking on submit
Writing
Plan and write Task 1 and Task 2 under a real clock, with the word count always visible and your draft autosaving as you type.
- Timed Task 1 and Task 2 practice
- Algorithmic feedback on your response
- Live word count and autosave
Speaking
Rehearse all three parts at test-day pace: timed preparation, timed answers, and recordings you can play back and compare.
- Parts 1, 2 and 3 with cue cards
- Record your answers in the browser
- Play back every attempt to hear your progress
Updated material
New tests every week, built around what the exam is asking now
We always try to give you the best prediction and exam-style questions to practise, with updated material. Every week we add new Reading and Listening tests — predicted topics or tests based on recent exams — so your preparation never goes stale.

The exam player
The same controls you will use on test day
Familiarity with the interface is part of the score. Practise with the real controls until none of them slow you down.
Server-timed sections
The clock runs on the server, so a refresh never buys extra time — just like the test centre.
Question palette
Jump between questions from the palette and see answered, unanswered and flagged states at a glance.
Flag and return
Mark a question to revisit, keep moving, and clear your flags before the section ends.
Autosave and recovery
Answers save as you work, and an attempt survives a reload or browser restart.
Learner perspectives
Practice built around what students need to feel ready
Familiar controls, current material and a realistic clock help turn uncertainty into a repeatable test-day routine.
“I want the computer test screen to feel familiar before test day.”
“I need fresh Reading and Listening material so practice never becomes repetition.”
“I want to find where my pace breaks down before the real timer starts.”

FAQ
CD IELTS preparation online, answered
The short version of what this platform is, what it costs, and how the marking works.
What is CD IELTS preparation?
CD stands for computer-delivered. CD IELTS preparation means practising the IELTS test in the same on-screen format used at computer-delivered test centres: typed answers, on-screen timers, a question palette, highlights and one-play listening audio. Practising in that format builds both language skill and interface familiarity.
Is CD IELTS Prep free to use?
You can start free with no card: a free account includes one free practice item in every module — Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking — plus all study tools and question guides. The full library is available on Pro for $10 a month or $20 for 3 months.
How is my practice marked?
Listening and Reading are marked instantly with exact rule-based scoring, the same way the real test converts raw scores to bands. Writing receives algorithmic feedback on your response, and Speaking answers are recorded so you can play them back and review your performance.
How often is new material added?
Every week we add new Reading and Listening tests — predicted topics or tests based on recent exams. We always try to give you the best prediction and exam-style questions to practise, with updated material.
Does it cover both Academic and General Training?
Yes. Practice material covers both Academic and General Training, including Academic Task 1 reports, General Training letters, and full timed Listening, Reading and Writing mock tests.
Is CD IELTS Prep the official IELTS test?
No. CD IELTS Prep is an independent practice platform and is not affiliated with the IELTS test partners. It is built for online CD IELTS preparation — practice scores are estimates for study purposes, not official results.
