The Speaking test

An examiner who listens. Not a list of questions.

You speak out loud, in an exam room, to an examiner who keeps real IELTS pace. Part 3 picks up the theme of your Part 2 cue card, and every follow-up comes from what you just said.

Part 1 · Interview4–5 min

Short questions about you — home, work or study, everyday topics.

Part 2 · Long turn3–4 min

A cue card, one minute to prepare, then speak for up to two minutes.

Part 3 · Discussion4–5 min

Deeper questions on the Part 2 theme — reasons, examples, opinions.

Why do you think some people prefer to learn alone rather than in a group?

You

I think because it is more flexible, you can go at your own speed.

Sara

Is that true of every subject — or are some skills better learned with other people?

Your turn — answer out loud
Part 3 grew out of the Part 2 cue card, “Describe a skill you taught yourself”. A short, safe answer — so the next question pushes for a contrast and a reason, the way Band 7 needs.
The band report

Not just a number. The reason for it.

A band on its own does not tell you what to practise. Every report shows where the marks went, using your own answers, and what would have moved you up half a band.

6.5band
Overall band · 6.5
“Listening is ready for 7. Writing Task 2 is the half band you are missing.”

Listening & Reading

Your raw score, your band, and every question with your answer next to the correct one.

Writing

A band for each criterion, notes on your own script, vocabulary upgrades and a Band 9 model answer.

Speaking

Fluency, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation — each band backed by the words you actually said.

The full mock

All four papers back to back and one overall band, laid out like a real Test Report Form.

Questions

Before you start.

Is this the real IELTS test format?

Yes. Every paper follows the computer-delivered IELTS Academic test: the same four papers, the same timings, the same question types and an exam-style screen. The questions are our own practice material written in the IELTS format, not leaked official papers.

How accurate is the band score?

Listening and Reading are marked against an answer key and converted to a band with the usual IELTS conversion, so they are close to what the real test gives. Writing and Speaking are marked by AI against the four public IELTS criteria — treat them as a strong estimate, not an official result.

Is it IELTS Academic or General Training?

Academic. Listening and Speaking are the same in both versions of the test; Reading and Writing follow the Academic module, including Writing Task 1 charts, maps and processes.

Will the Speaking examiner ask me the same questions again?

No. Each sitting is built from a bank of more than 80 topics and 60 cue cards and from your own history, so a question you have already answered does not come back.

What is in the full mock test?

Listening, Reading (60 minutes), Writing (60 minutes) and Speaking (11 to 14 minutes) run back to back, like the real test day, and end with one overall band on a Test Report Form.

Can I try it for free?

Yes. Every account can sit one paper of each IELTS module free, with no card. Full access is a one-time payment for 30 days — all four modules together, or one module on its own.

Find your band today. Not on results day.

One paper of each module is free. No card, nothing to install.
