The official practice test takes about 45 minutes, runs the same question types as the certified test and returns a score estimate; it can be taken as often as wanted. Because the item pool is enormous and every certified test is different, the value of practice lies in knowing each type’s mechanics — where the timer is, how the Interactive Listening conversation unfolds, how quickly the 35-second speaking window closes — rather than in seeing familiar questions.
