See how feedback helpsThe Speaking test lasts 11–14 minutes. The task changes from familiar conversation to a long turn and then a more abstract discussion.
Answer familiar questions about home, work, study and interests with a useful reason or detail.
Use one minute to prepare, then organise your ideas and speak about the task-card topic at length.
Explain opinions and discuss broader questions connected to the topic introduced in Part 2.
These are the core topics we will develop around the Speaking practice experience.
Your recording is transcribed so the feedback can focus on the language visible in your response: idea development, organisation, vocabulary and grammar.
