IELTS Speaking practice

All three parts with the examiner's voice: Part 1 questions, a Part 2 cue card with one minute to prepare, and a Part 3 discussion — recorded so you can listen back. Each practice is a complete Speaking section in the official order. Press start and we give you a section you haven't done yet, chosen at random.

  • Part 3 (4–5 minutes): a discussion of more abstract questions linked to Part 2.
