FIG 1.0 — Computer-based exams
A computer-based Reading test, faithful down to the timer.
Part A under its own clock, Parts B and C under another, the exact item types and on-screen behaviour of the real CBT — so the format is muscle memory before exam day.
FIG A — The agent
What the reading agent does
Two clocks, like the real test
Part A runs for 15 minutes of expeditious reading; Parts B and C share 45 minutes of careful reading. The interface enforces it.
Every item type
Matching, sentence completion and multiple choice across all 42 items, presented exactly as the computer-based test presents them.
Explains the answer trail
After submitting, the agent highlights the sentence in the text that licenses each answer and why the near-miss option fails.
Coaches your pace
It shows where time drained away — usually Part A skimming — and drills the expeditious-reading habits that recover it.
FIG B — Format fidelity
How practice mirrors the sub-test
We match the structure, timing and on-screen behaviour of the official computer-based test so nothing on exam day is a surprise.
- Structure
- Three parts. Part A: expeditious reading; Parts B & C: careful reading.
- Timing
- 60 minutes total — 15 for Part A, 45 for Parts B & C, enforced separately.
- Items
- 42 question items across the three parts.
- Surface
- Exam-faithful CBT layout: on-screen text, navigation and review flags; lockdown, no copy/paste.
FIG C — Feedback
What you get back
Every attempt produces structured, actionable feedback — provisional until a teacher signs it off.
- Per-part and per-item-type accuracy.
- Text references showing where each answer was supported.
- Timing analysis across Part A vs Parts B & C.
- A prioritised list of reading sub-skills to practise.
Honest note
Passages and items are original, OET-style material for practice. The interface recreates the computer-based test experience; it does not reproduce live exam content and is not affiliated with the official test owner.
