Reading practice

Free includes 5 reading tests, counted for the life of the account — not a weekly ration. Once they are gone the passage list stays visible but greyed out, and starting one leads to the upgrade page. Pro is unlimited. See Plans and limits.

Finding a passage

The list can be filtered by question type and by difficulty. Arriving from a plan task narrows it to the one passage that task means, and arriving from a lesson's Practice stage preselects that lesson's question type.

Sitting it

A passage carries 13 questions and a 20-minute timer. Timing is proportional to a full test — 40 questions in 60 minutes — so a shorter set gets a correspondingly shorter clock rather than an arbitrary one.

While you work:

  • Flag a question to come back to it. Flags are yours and are not marked.
  • Answers save as you type, debounced. Saving is never blocked by anything, including a spent quota.
  • Leaving is safe. An attempt you have started but not submitted is still there when you come back, with your answers and your flags in it. Starting from the list resumes it rather than beginning a second one.

Submitting

Submitting asks you to confirm, and the confirmation names how many questions are unanswered. Once submitted, an attempt is marked immediately and cannot be reopened.

Then you land on the review — the same shared review component Listening uses — see How reading is marked for what is on it.

Reading practice never expires

There is no weekly limit, no Pro gate and no quota meter on reading. The two things that are metered on Free are essay marking and Coach, because those cost money to run. See Plans and limits.
