IELTS Speaking Practice Tests
Short diagnostic · no account
Answer one original prompt and review a practice estimate. This short recording is not a full three-part Speaking test; longer practice and saved progress are available after signup.
Reading and Listening open signup, then return you to the selected skill. Speaking opens a short public diagnostic. The Writing scorer is directly below. Estimates are practice feedback, not official results or a guarantee of your test-day band.
How Our Practice Tests Work
1
Choose one skill and complete an attempt
Paste a complete Task 2 essay for Writing, record a short Speaking answer, or create an account for Reading and Listening. Short diagnostics are not full mock exams.
2
Find one point to work on
Read the explanation alongside your answer. For Writing or Speaking, treat the automated band as a practice estimate. Choose one correction you understand before starting another attempt.
3
Apply the feedback, then practise again
Revise a paragraph or develop your next spoken answer using that correction. Create an account when you want to continue into saved practice. Check the result screen for the available save options.
Get feedback on your next Task 2 essay
Paste a complete essay for a practice band estimate and feedback across four criteria. No signup is needed for the first result.
