An IELTS Speaking Simulator That Feels Like the Real Exam
Exam timing, a live examiner who interrupts and follows up, and a band score at the end. Rehearse test day until it stops scaring you.

A question list is not a simulator. What makes the real exam hard is that a person is sitting across from you, the clock is running, and you cannot pause to think of a better word. A simulator has to reproduce that pressure or it teaches you nothing. This one puts you in a live spoken exchange with an examiner who reacts to what you say — and it holds you to exam timing whether you are ready or not.
Why practise this way
Exam pressure, not a quiz
The clock runs. The examiner moves on. You cannot rewind and re-record a better answer. That is uncomfortable — and it is precisely the discomfort you need to rehearse before test day.
A face and a voice, not a text box
You speak, and an examiner speaks back, on screen. Practising against a talking examiner is a different skill from typing answers, and it is the one you are actually being tested on.
Every part of the test, on demand
Rehearse the full exam, or isolate the part that scares you. If Part 2 is where you freeze, run cue cards until two minutes of speech stops feeling impossible.
Find out where the marks go
After each run you see which of the four criteria dropped your band, with the specific moments in your own answers that caused it — so the next attempt fixes something real.
How it works
Choose the full exam simulation, or a single part you want to rehearse.
Speak live with the examiner under real exam timing — no pausing, no retakes.
Review your band score and error breakdown, then run it again until it is automatic.
Ready to hear how you actually sound?
Run your first test in the next five minutes. You will know your band before you finish your coffee.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from reading sample answers?
Sample answers teach you what a good answer looks like. They do not teach you to produce one out loud, under time pressure, when an examiner is waiting. Only speaking does that — and that is the whole point of a simulator.
Does the simulator use real IELTS questions?
It uses questions built to match the style, difficulty and topic range of the real exam across all three parts, including proper Part 2 cue cards. The exam board does not publish live questions, so nobody has the actual test paper — what matters is that the format and difficulty are faithful.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. It runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or laptop — you just need a working microphone.
Will it tell me my band score?
Yes, an estimated overall band plus a score for each of the four official criteria, with feedback on what to change.
