What these B2 English mock tests cover
Each of our 20 mock tests is structured to mirror the four core skills assessed at B2 level in the IELTS General Training test — the most common route to proving English ability for UK settlement:
| Section | Questions | What it tests |
|---|---|---|
| Listening | 4 | Audio comprehension |
| Reading | 4 | Text comprehension |
| Vocabulary | 6 | Word choice & meaning |
| Grammar | 6 | Accuracy & structure |
The pass mark of 14/20 (70%) reflects the IELTS Band 5.5 threshold — the minimum score accepted for Indefinite Leave to Remain and British Citizenship applications. If you pass every section in these mock tests, you have the vocabulary, grammar and comprehension skills needed for the real exam.
Why B2 English matters for UK settlement
- ✓ ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain) — requires B1 speaking/listening plus Life in the UK test. B2 reading and writing strengthen your overall application.
- ✓ British Citizenship — same requirement: B1 SELT plus Life in the UK test. B2 skills help you pass both comfortably.
- ✓ Skilled Worker Visa — requires B1 in all four skills. B2-level practice gives you a strong buffer above the pass mark.
- ✓ IELTS General Training — Band 5.5 overall with no band below 5.0 is the standard B2 benchmark. These tests directly mirror that format.
How to prepare using these B2 mock tests
- 1Take Mock Test 1 cold — no preparation. Your section scores show exactly where to focus first.
- 2Read every explanation — right or wrong. The explanations teach the grammar rules and vocabulary patterns the exam actually tests.
- 3Practise weak sections separately — use vocabulary, grammar, listening or reading drills between full mock tests.
- 4Book the real test when you consistently score 16+ across multiple mock tests. Scoring 17+ every attempt means you are ready.
B2 English mock test — frequently asked questions
What is a B2 English mock test?
A B2 English mock test is a full practice exam that mirrors the format of the real IELTS General Training test used for UK settlement visa applications. Each test includes listening, reading, vocabulary and grammar sections — the four skills tested at B2 level (IELTS Band 5.5).
How many questions are in each B2 mock test?
Each mock test has 20 questions: 4 listening, 4 reading, 6 vocabulary and 6 grammar. You have 25 minutes to complete it — the same pace as the real exam.
What is the pass mark for the B2 English test?
You need to answer 14 out of 20 questions correctly — that is 70%. This corresponds to IELTS Band 5.5, which is the B2 threshold required for UK settlement (Indefinite Leave to Remain).
Which English test do I need for UK settlement?
For Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) or Citizenship, you need to prove B2 English — usually through IELTS Life Skills B1, IELTS Academic or General Training at Band 5.5+, or an approved Secure English Language Test (SELT). These mock tests help you prepare for any of those routes.
How is B2 English different from B1?
B2 (upper intermediate) requires stronger reading comprehension, more precise vocabulary, and the ability to understand abstract or academic texts. B1 tests are required for spouse/partner visas; B2 is required for ILR and citizenship. IELTS Band 5.5 = B2; Band 4.0 = B1.
Are these B2 mock tests completely free?
Yes — all 20 mock tests are completely free. No sign-up, no paywall, no premium tier. Every test and every explanation is free forever.
How many mock tests should I do before the real B2 exam?
Most people who pass first time score consistently above 16/20 across at least 5 full mock tests. If you are scoring 17 or more every time, you are ready. Focus extra revision on any section where you lose more than 2 marks.
