08 Jul 2026 · Answered by Prakhar Pragy Dixit · 1 min read
The IELTS exam lasts about 2 hours and 45 minutes in total, including Listening (30 minutes), Reading (60 minutes), Writing (60 minutes), and Speaking (11 - 14 minutes).
An IELTS mock test typically matches this structure and timing - around 2 hours and 45 minutes if all sections are done together. Sometimes, the Speaking section for the mock test may be held separately.
