{{info}}Test taking tips

Part 1 · Introduction & interview (about 6 min). Roughly 1 minute introducing yourself and confirming basic information, then about 5 minutes of questions on familiar topics such as your home, work, studies, hobbies and interests.

Expect about 9 to 12 questions, depending on how long your answers are.
Aim for around 30 seconds per answer. A good Part 1 answer is usually two sentences: answer the question directly, then briefly explain or give a reason.
If your answer is too short, the examiner may follow up with "Why?" or "Can you tell me more?"
If your answer is too long, the examiner will politely interrupt and move on to the next question, just as a real IELTS examiner would.

Part 2 · Long turn (3 min). You get a topic card, 1 minute to prepare, then you speak for up to 2 minutes.

Have a pencil and paper ready before the test starts.
Use the preparation minute to write as many keywords as you can, to help organise your ideas.
Describe the topic in as much detail as possible, and keep speaking until the timer finishes to demonstrate fluency.
Your goal is to speak for the full 2 minutes. If you stop after 45 to 60 seconds, your performance may not fully demonstrate your speaking ability.
If you stop early, the examiner will ask you to say more about one of the bullet points on the card: "Can you tell me more about..." Take that as your cue to keep going and fill the time.

Part 3 · Discussion (5 min). More detailed, abstract questions related to your Part 2 topic.

Expect about 6 to 10 questions, depending on how long your answers are.
Aim to speak for 45 to 60 seconds per answer.
Explain and justify your opinions using clear reasons and relevant examples.
Compare ideas, weigh advantages and disadvantages, explain causes and effects, and speculate about the future where it fits.
If your answer is too short, the examiner may ask "Why do you think that?", "Can you explain that further?" or "Could you give me an example?"
If your answer is too long, the examiner will politely interrupt and move on to the next question.

At any point. If you cannot hear a question, ask the examiner to repeat it. If you do not understand it, ask the examiner to rephrase it. Neither counts against you.

Examiner question

Let's talk about your home town. Where is it, and what is it known for?

We couldn't hear you.

No speech was recorded during your test, so nothing has been assessed. Your microphone was most likely muted or not sending any audio.

Check that your microphone isn't muted, including any mute switch on a headset.
Make sure the right input device is selected in your system settings.
Close any other app that may be holding the microphone.

Your AI IELTS Speaking test is complete.
