  2. Three exams today: BUEPT (Boğaziçi University English Proficiency Test), IELTS (computer-delivered Academic) and TOEFL iBT. Each mock replicates timing, section order, question types and the on-screen tools of the live test.

  6. Mocks are one-to-one with the live exam: identical timers, transfer-time rules, question navigator, highlight and note tools, split-screen reading layout and audio-once listening. We do not shortcut any section.

  7. Practice mode allows pausing. Timed full mocks do not — that is intentional. You can still schedule mocks for a specific date and time so they fit your study plan.

  12. Yes. Every attempt has a Review view with the passage/audio, your answer, the correct answer, and — where relevant — the rationale and difficulty tag. Writing attempts show the mentor's annotated PDF.
