Do I need to give IELTS, and can I take mock tests to assess my preparation in Ireland/Germany for a Master's?

Yes, you will need to take the IELTS exam to meet English language requirements for master's programs in both Ireland and Germany. Most universities expect an overall IELTS score of around 6.5, with no band below 6.0, but requirements can vary by program.
You can take mock IELTS tests to assess your preparation. Many online platforms offer free and paid mock tests with instant feedback. Mock tests help you get familiar with the exam format and identify areas for improvement.
