Reading and listening have right answers, so you can mark them yourself. Writing and speaking are judged against criteria, which is the one thing a free page cannot do for you.
Yes. Every page here is open, with no account to create and nothing to pay. The site is paid for by advertising.
Yes. Each question shows the accepted answers as soon as you answer it, including alternative wordings.
This site covers PTE, TOEFL, TOEIC and OET, and general English by CEFR level. IELTS has its own site, IELTSforFREE.
Where free stops
Everything on this site is open, and for reading, listening, grammar and vocabulary that is enough: they have right answers, so you can check them yourself.
Writing and speaking are judged against criteria rather than checked against a key, which is why no free page can score them. If you are taking IELTS, IELTStestONLINE assesses both against the four IELTS criteria, using a system built by a former examiner and examiner trainer.
