How the real test works, and how this mock copies it
- 01
One clock for the whole test
The JFT-Basic gives you 60 minutes for everything. No section has its own time limit, so time you save on vocabulary is time you can spend on reading.
- 02
Four sections, always in this order
Script and Vocabulary, Conversation and Expression, Listening, then Reading. Each has about 12 questions, about 50 in total.
- 03
No going back
Inside a section you can change your answers and flag questions to check later. Once you move to the next section, the one you left is closed for good.
- 04
Listening plays twice
Each clip can be played up to 2 times, and in the listening section you can't move back to an earlier question. Read the question and the pictures before you press play.
- 05
A scaled score out of 250
The real score runs from 10 to 250 and is equated, so it is not a simple count of correct answers. 200 or more is the A2 level used for the SSW (i) visa. Our score is an estimate from your percentage correct.
