How a practice attempt works
Press start, prepare while the timer counts down, then speak when recording begins. When you finish, your recording is turned into a transcript and you get an instant free score.
Signed in, you can request an AI-estimated practice score covering content and coherence, vocabulary, listenability and task fulfillment, with strengths, problems, corrected sentences and next-level advice.
Tip: practise out loud, every day
Short, frequent practice beats long sessions. Two or three tasks a day, spoken out loud with the timer, builds the fluency and time control that the test rewards.
