How the IELTS Speaking test works

Part 1 (4–5 minutes). The examiner asks about work or study, then two familiar topics such as your hometown, hobbies or food.
Part 2 (3–4 minutes). You get a cue card, 1 minute to make notes, then speak for 1–2 minutes. The examiner may ask one or two short follow-up questions.
Part 3 (4–5 minutes). A two-way discussion of broader questions linked to the Part 2 theme: society, change, causes and opinions.

How to get the most from a mock test

Do it in one go. Don't pause between parts. Stamina and keeping going are part of fluency.
Record and listen back. Count long pauses, repeated words and answers that stop after one sentence.
Extend every answer. Add a reason, an example or a comparison. Examiners can only score what you say.
Use the full 2 minutes in Part 2. Stopping early is the most common Part 2 mistake.

01Is this IELTS speaking mock test free?

Yes. The full Part 1–3 mock test is free and needs no sign-up. Questions are read aloud by your browser's voice, and your answers are recorded only in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

02How long is the IELTS Speaking test?

11–14 minutes. Part 1 lasts 4–5 minutes of short questions about familiar topics, Part 2 gives you 1 minute to prepare and up to 2 minutes to talk about a cue card, and Part 3 is a 4–5 minute discussion of more abstract questions linked to the Part 2 topic.

03Does this mock test give me a band score?

No. A score needs someone (or something) to listen to you. Record your test and listen back for pauses, repetition and short answers. For a band score, Worddemy's AI examiner runs the test live, asks follow-up questions and scores you on Fluency and Coherence, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range and Accuracy, and Pronunciation.

04How long should my answers be?

In Part 1, 2–3 sentences (about 20–30 seconds) with a reason or example. In Part 2, keep talking until the examiner stops you at 2 minutes. In Part 3, give longer, developed answers of 40–60 seconds: your view, why, an example, and possibly the opposite view.

05Why can't I hear the questions?

Spoken questions use your browser's built-in speech voice. Check that your volume is on and that "Examiner reads questions aloud" is switched on. Some browsers have no English voice installed; the questions are always shown on screen too.

06Is the computer-delivered IELTS Speaking test different?

No. Even in computer-delivered IELTS, the Speaking test is a face-to-face conversation with a real examiner (in person or by video call). The format and timing are the same as in this mock test.
