Aptis simulator: full mock exams

Sitting a realistic mock is the fastest way to find out where you really are. AptisBot gives you two on Telegram — an adaptive mock and a full timed simulation of the real exam — with Speaking and Writing graded by AI. Included in the 7-day trial.

Quick summary

Aptis is taken on a computer in a single supervised session of about two hours. A mock that copies that — same components, same timing, same task types — tells you far more than answering loose questions. On the bot you get an overall score, a breakdown by skill and an estimated CEFR level at the end.

The two modes

Mode What it is Best for
Adaptive mock
/simulacro
15 mixed questions + 8 listening + Speaking and Writing tasks in the real format. Adjusts to your level.A quick, honest read of where you stand.
Full timed mock
/simulacro_completo
100 questions with a per-block timer that reproduces the real ~2-hour exam.Stamina and timing before the real day.

At the end of either, you get an overall score, a per-skill breakdown and an estimated CEFR level — no pass/fail, just where you are.

Why the mock is the part that matters

The Aptis fee isn't really the expensive part — repeating the exam is. If you fail one skill you re-sit the whole test. A realistic mock catches the weak skill before you pay, especially in Speaking and Writing, where most people over- or under-estimate themselves.

Because the bot grades Speaking and Writing with the official 0-6 rubric, the mock score is calibrated to the real thing — not a self-assessment.

What is in each mock

Each mock follows the real format of the variant, part by part. The times are the official ones for each skill.

Source: British Council, Aptis test format overview 2023. Core has no CEFR level of its own; each of the four skills is scored from 0 to 50.

How to read your result

Each skill gets a score out of 50 and a CEFR level, and the overall level is the rounded average of the four skill levels, not the sum of the scores. A mock gives you an estimate, not the official result. How Aptis results work.

Questions about the Aptis mock test

Is there a Aptis test online?

Yes. Each of the five parts (Core, Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking) of the first General and Advanced mocks can be taken on the web with no account and no card, with the real number of questions and the official time limit. You see your score and estimated CEFR level at the end. a Google sign-in is only needed to save your result and to unlock the rest of the mocks. After the trial, without a plan you can keep practising with a daily limit: 20 questions, one writing and one speaking a day.

Is the mock score the official one?

No. It is an estimate based on the official scoring scales. Only the British Council issues the Aptis certificate, after the real exam.

How long does the full mock take?

The full timed mock reproduces the real exam, which takes about two hours in a single supervised session.

Which mock should I take, General or Advanced?

General reaches up to C1 and Advanced runs from B1 to C2. General or Advanced: which one you need.
