Question 1

Is mockDe free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, core features are completely free. Band score analysis, mock tests, vocabulary games, idioms practice, and the diagnostic test are all available without payment. Premium unlocks full AI feedback, advanced mock tests, and priority support.

Question 2

How accurate is the AI band scoring?

Accepted Answer

Our AI is trained on the same 4 scoring rules that real IELTS examiners use: how well you answered the task, how clearly your essay is organised, how good your vocabulary is, and how accurate your grammar is. The AI is designed to target within ±0.5 band of human examiner grades. Use it as a reliable training guide, not a replacement for an official IELTS result.

Question 3

How does mockDe use multiple AI agents to evaluate my writing?

Accepted Answer

Think of it like having four specialist teachers mark your essay at the same time - each one an expert in a different area. When you submit a Task 2 essay, mockDe launches four independent AI agents simultaneously: one reads only for Task Achievement (did you answer the question fully?), another looks only at Coherence & Cohesion (does your essay flow and connect logically?), a third focuses only on Lexical Resource (how varied and precise is your vocabulary?), and a fourth checks Grammatical Range & Accuracy (are your sentences structurally correct and varied?). Each agent gives its own score and written comment - just like four real examiners in a marking room. A fifth coordinating agent then combines all four reports into a single consistent band score and produces your personalised Roadmap to +1 Band. This multi-agent approach means no single criterion is ever rushed or overlooked - the same depth of attention your essay would get from an experienced human examiner, delivered in under 30 seconds.

Question 4

How does the multi-agent system evaluate my Speaking test?

Accepted Answer

Your spoken answer goes through a similar specialist pipeline. First, a transcription agent converts your speech to text accurately, preserving hesitations and fillers (which matter for Fluency scoring). Then four scoring agents read the transcript: one measures Fluency & Coherence (did you speak smoothly with natural pausing?), one evaluates Lexical Resource (did you use a good range of vocabulary?), one assesses Grammatical Range & Accuracy, and one analyses Pronunciation patterns from your audio. Each agent is instructed to focus only on its criterion - so a strong vocabulary performance won't accidentally inflate your Fluency score, and a grammatical slip won't unfairly hurt your Lexical score. The result is the same nuanced, criterion-by-criterion breakdown a certified speaking examiner produces - but available instantly after every practice session.

Question 5

Does mockDe support IELTS General Training?

Accepted Answer

Currently the platform focuses on IELTS Academic. General Training support is in development and will be prioritised based on user demand. You can vote for it in the sidebar.

Question 6

Can I use mockDe on my phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the platform is fully responsive and works well on mobile and tablet browsers. A dedicated native app is in development.

Question 7

How is my data used?

Accepted Answer

Your test responses are used only to generate your AI feedback. We do not sell your data to third parties or share it with advertisers. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Question 8

How many mock tests are available?

Accepted Answer

There are 40+ reading tests, 30+ listening tests, 50+ writing prompts, and unlimited AI-powered speaking sessions. More tests are added regularly.

Question 9

How does the Speaking test work?

Accepted Answer

The Speaking test uses your device microphone to record your answers to IELTS-style questions asked by AI examiner Sarah. Your speech is converted to text and scored on four areas: how smoothly you speak (fluency), how varied your vocabulary is, how correct your grammar is, and how clear your pronunciation is.

Question 10

What is the difference between Practice and Mock Tests?

Accepted Answer

Mock Tests simulate the full IELTS exam experience with time limits and complete test sets. Practice by Skill lets you focus on specific areas (e.g., only Task 2 writing, or only Part 2 Speaking) without full exam conditions.

Question 11

Can I retake tests?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all tests can be retaken. We recommend waiting at least a few days between retakes of the same test to ensure your improvement is genuine rather than based on memory.

Question 12

How does premium work and what does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Premium is a single plan at ₹999/month (or ₹7,999/year, saving you ₹3,989 - about 4 months free). It unlocks unlimited AI-graded mock tests, sentence-by-sentence writing feedback, AI speaking practice, and unlimited AI Tutor sessions. Both plans are one-time payments. There is no automatic renewal - your access is active for the full 30 or 365 days you paid for, and you are never charged again unless you choose to purchase again.

Question 13

Is there a student discount?

Accepted Answer

We offer periodic promotional discounts. Sign up for our email list or check the Upgrade page for current offers. Email support@mockde.com if you are a registered student and need support.

Question 14

How do I reset my password?

Accepted Answer

Click "Sign In" on the navigation bar, then "Forgot password?" in the login form. Enter your email and we will send a reset link within a few minutes.

Question 15

What happens to my data if I delete my account?

Accepted Answer

When you request account deletion, all your personal data and test history is permanently removed from our databases within 30 days. Email support@mockde.com to initiate deletion.

Question 16

Does mockDe replace a human tutor?

Accepted Answer

mockDe is a powerful supplement to human tutoring, not a replacement. Our AI provides instant, consistent, and detailed feedback at a fraction of the cost of a tutor. For nuanced essay coaching or personalised exam strategy, a human expert still adds value.

Question 17

How is mockDe different from other IELTS apps?

Accepted Answer

Other IELTS apps give you a band score and leave you guessing. mockDe gives you a Roadmap to +1 Band after every test - identifying the exact sentences, words, and patterns costing you marks, with specific fixes to apply before your next attempt. We also believe testing IS teaching: every mock test is a personalised lesson in disguise. The cost-to-feedback ratio is unmatched - 50 AI evaluations for the price of one human tutor session.

Question 18

What is an IELTS mock test and why should I practice with AI?

Accepted Answer

An IELTS mock test replicates the real exam — full Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking sections under timed conditions. Practising with AI gives you two advantages a paper mock cannot: instant band scores with criterion-level breakdowns (not just a number), and personalised coaching after every attempt. mockDe's AI mock tests show you exactly which sentences drag your Writing score down, which hesitations hurt your Speaking fluency, and which question types you lose the most Reading marks on — so every practice session translates directly into a higher score on exam day.

Question 19

How does the IELTS band score calculator work?

Accepted Answer

The IELTS band score calculator converts raw scores into official band equivalents. For Reading and Listening, each correct answer is one raw mark; these totals are converted to a 1–9 band using Cambridge's official conversion tables, which vary slightly between Academic and General Training. Writing and Speaking are assessed on four criteria each (Task Achievement, Coherence, Lexical Resource, Grammar for Writing; Fluency, Lexical Resource, Grammar, Pronunciation for Speaking). mockDe's IELTS calculator lets you input scores for all four sections and computes your overall band as the average rounded to the nearest 0.5.

Question 20

What IELTS reading practice does mockDe offer?

Accepted Answer

mockDe includes 40+ IELTS Academic Reading practice tests with authentic passage types: discursive, descriptive, analytical, and mixed. Each test covers all key question types — True/False/Not Given, Matching Headings, Summary Completion, Multiple Choice, and Sentence Completion. After each attempt, the AI identifies which question type costs you the most time, and where skimming vs. scanning strategy would have saved marks.

Question 21

Can I use mockDe as an IELTS AI training platform?

Accepted Answer

Yes — mockDe is built as an AI-first IELTS training platform. Every module uses AI: Writing essays are scored by four specialist AI agents in parallel (one per marking criterion). Speaking answers are transcribed and graded by an AI examiner named Sarah who provides pronunciation and fluency coaching. The Diagnostic test uses AI to identify your lowest-scoring skill and build a personalised weekly study plan. IELTS AI training on mockDe is faster, more consistent, and more detailed than static practice books.

Question 22

What is the IELTS exam and when should I take it?

Accepted Answer

IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is the world's most trusted English proficiency exam, accepted by 11,000+ institutions in 140+ countries including universities in the UK, Australia, Canada, and the US. The exam tests four skills — Listening (30 min), Reading (60 min), Writing (60 min), and Speaking (11–14 min). Most universities require Band 6.5–7.5; immigration programmes like Canada's Express Entry require Band 6.0+. You should take IELTS when you consistently score at or above your target band in mock tests across all four sections.
