01The difference

Six reasons students switch to Mockeva.

a.

Five examiners on every script

Most tools give one generic AI reply. Mockeva scores Writing and Speaking with five independent AI examiners and averages the band — closer to how real moderation works.

b.

A speaking examiner that talks back

Not fixed prompts you record into the void. A British AI examiner runs a real two-way interview across Parts 1–3, with natural follow-ups and exam timing.

c.

Three exams, one subscription logic

IELTS (Academic & General), TOEFL iBT and PTE Academic — each exam-accurate, instead of juggling separate apps or courses.

d.

Feedback while it still matters

Criterion-level bands and model answers in under a minute — not the 1–3 day wait you get from a coaching centre.

e.

A fraction of coaching cost

Unlimited mocks from $8.99/month versus $150–400/month for classes — practise as many times as you need before booking the real test.

f.

Pay the way you actually pay

Card, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay in USD worldwide, or bKash in BDT for Bangladesh — no awkward bank transfers.
