Aptis practice test, in the real exam format

What a real Aptis test looks like

The Aptis General has 5 components: Grammar & Vocabulary, Reading (35 minutes), Listening (40 minutes), Writing (50 minutes) and Speaking (12 minutes). Everything is done on a computer at a test centre, not on paper, and there is nobody sitting across from you in the Speaking part: you record your answers. It reports levels A1 to B2.

Why practising in the exact format matters more than studying grammar

Most people who fail the Aptis do not fail on English. They fail on the clock and the format: they find out on the day that Listening plays only once in some parts, that Writing part 4 asks for two separate emails in different registers, or that Speaking gives you seconds to prepare. A practice test in the real format turns all of that into something you already know.

Grammar & Vocabulary is the part nobody prepares

It is the component every candidate takes, and the one that decides which level the rest of your test is scored against. Skipping it and going straight to Speaking is the most common mistake we see, and the cheapest one to fix.

What you get with your practice test

Automatic scoring on Grammar & Vocabulary, Reading and Listening, so you know where you stand immediately. For Writing and Speaking, real teachers correct your answers, not an algorithm: those two parts are judged by a human in the real exam, so they should be judged by a human here.

Questions people ask

Is this Aptis practice test free?

Yes. You can take a full mock exam and practise every part without paying. Teacher corrections for Writing and Speaking are the part that is limited on the free plan.

How long does a full Aptis practice test take?

About 162 minutes for the Aptis General, which is the same as the real exam. You can also practise one component at a time.

Are the questions the same as the real Aptis?

Not the same questions, which nobody can give you legally, but the same task types, the same number of parts and the same timing. That is what you need to practise.

Should I practise Aptis General or Aptis Advanced?

Aptis General reports A1 to B2. If you need a C1 or a C2 on your certificate, Aptis Advanced is the one built for that: it reports B1 to C2.
