Your band for each criterion, a transcript synced to your recording, pronunciation by sound, speaking speed and suggestions.
Your Speaking report scores you on the four official criteria and shows exactly what you said.
Scores
- Overall: your Speaking band
- Fluency & Coherence: speaking smoothly without long pauses, with ideas that connect
- Lexical Resource: range and accuracy of vocabulary, including less common words and collocations
- Grammar, Errors & Corrections: range and accuracy of grammar, with each error corrected
- Pronunciation: how clear and natural you sound
Feedback
- Strengths: what's already working
- Weaknesses: what's holding your band back
- Suggestions: specific things to try in your next attempt
Each question
Open a part to see every question you answered:
- Your recording: play it back
- Transcription: the words we heard, highlighted as your recording plays
- Grammar & Corrections: your sentences with fixes
- Pronunciation breakdown: sounds you said well and sounds to work on (green, amber, red)
- Speaking speed: Slow, Medium or Fast. Aim for a natural medium pace.
If a part says No answers recorded for this part, the recording for that part didn't reach us.
