IELTS Speaking practice with a full simulated interview
Speaking is assessed on fluency and coherence, lexical resource, grammatical range and accuracy, and pronunciation. IELTS Studio simulates the full interview and gives you structured feedback on each.
The full test, in one continuous take
The simulator follows the real structure so the rhythm feels familiar.
- Part 1 — introduction and interview questions on familiar topics
- Part 2 — a cue card with one minute of preparation time and a two-minute long turn
- Part 3 — abstract discussion questions linked to the Part 2 theme
- Recording runs continuously across parts, exactly like the exam
Feedback that understands spoken language
Pauses, hesitation, repetition and self-correction are normal — they are assessed by their effect on communication, not counted as faults.
- Criterion-level estimates for all four speaking criteria
- Observations on fluency, hesitation patterns, vocabulary and grammar
- Pronunciation feedback focused on intelligibility, stress and intonation — never accent as a fault
- Targeted recommendations with practice suggestions
Recording that just works
Browser-based recording with clear states and no surprises.
- Explicit microphone permission step with recovery instructions if access is denied
- Preparation countdown and speaking timer
- Replay before submitting; re-record if you are not happy
- Recordings are stored securely and used only for your assessment
Common questions
Can I pause during the speaking test?
The simulator records continuously through Parts 1–3, with a deliberate pause during Part 2 preparation. If something goes wrong, you can stop and record again.
How can AI assess my pronunciation?
The assessment model analyses the audio directly, including intelligibility, stress, rhythm and connected speech. It is an estimate focused on actionable feedback, not an official judgement.
What if I hesitate a lot?
Hesitation is one of the signals assessors weigh, so the feedback discusses where it happens and why — for example, mid-sentence searches for basic vocabulary — and suggests practice to reduce it.
