You record your answers to the real examiner prompts — Part 1, the Part 2 long turn with its minute to prepare, and the Part 3 discussion — and get a band on each of the four criteria: fluency and coherence, lexical resource, grammatical range and accuracy, and pronunciation. Your first AI evaluation is free, and an instructor can mark it instead. There is no trial and no card.

What the Speaking test asks of you

Part 1 — Introduction and interview (4–5 minutes)

Familiar questions about yourself: where you live, your work or study, your free time. The examiner is checking that you can speak naturally about ordinary things, not that you have an interesting life.

Part 2 — The long turn (3–4 minutes)

A task card, one minute to prepare with paper and pencil, then one to two minutes speaking without interruption. Running out before the minute is up costs more marks than a few hesitations do.

Part 3 — Discussion (4–5 minutes)

Abstract questions connected to the Part 2 topic. This is where the higher bands are decided: you are asked to speculate, compare and justify, not to recall.

How a Speaking band is worked out

There is no raw score to convert. An examiner — or our AI, against the same published descriptors — gives a band for each of the four criteria, and the four are averaged to the nearest half band. That is why a report here names all four: a 7 built on a 5 for pronunciation is a different problem from a 7 built on a 5 for grammar, and only one of them is fixed by speaking more.
