Frequently asked questions
Is the free practice test really free?
Yes. Every registered student gets one free attempt with 15 questions in each of Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. No payment details are needed.
Are the results official IELTS scores?
No. Results are unofficial FLC practice estimates. Only an authorised IELTS test centre can issue an official IELTS Test Report Form.
Are these real past IELTS papers?
No. The questions are original IELTS-style practice material written by Future Link Consultants, modelled on the formats, topics and question types used in IELTS. They are not official or verified past papers, and we do not label them as such.
How much is the full-length test?
₹599 per attempt. Pay by UPI, upload your receipt and UPI reference, and our team verifies it manually before unlocking the test.
When does my paid access start and expire?
After your payment is approved we email your candidate ID and access instructions. You must start the test within 7 days of that email; unused access then expires. The deadline is enforced on our server.
What if my internet drops during the test?
Your answers are saved automatically. Sign in again and click Resume while time remains. The timer does not pause or restart, because it runs on our server. If something goes wrong that was not your fault, raise a support ticket and our team can review it.
Are Writing and Speaking scored automatically?
Not in this version. Your Writing responses and typed Speaking answers are stored and shown back to you; no score is invented. Audio recording for Speaking is not enabled yet.
Is Listening audio included?
Listening currently uses sample audio read by your browser's speech engine. Licensed recordings are planned; until then pacing and accents differ from the real exam.
Is the paid test exactly like the real exam?
It follows the exam structure (40 Listening questions, 40 Reading questions, 2 Writing tasks, 3 Speaking parts) and the 3-hour timing, but our passages and Listening scripts are shorter than official papers. Treat it as practice, not a precise simulation.
Can I take the paid test more than once?
Each ₹599 payment gives one attempt. Buy again for another attempt.
How do I get help?
Raise a ticket from your dashboard, email help@futurelinkconsultants.com, or WhatsApp +91 99982 24688. A WhatsApp message alone never unlocks the test — payment evidence must be submitted on the Buy page.
