AI IELTS Speaking mock test apps in 2026, compared by what they claim

“Mock test” is the least standardised phrase in this whole category. Some products mean one continuous run through Parts 1, 2 and 3 on the exam’s clock; some mean three separate exercises you can do in any order; at least one means a set of study pages. The distinction is not pedantic — the thing a mock is uniquely good at is showing you where you run out, and you only find that out by not stopping. Below are the products whose own listings describe a full Parts 1-3 mock, what each one actually claims, and where it runs.

We make IELTS Mentor AI, one of the apps discussed here. We’ve tried to be fair; check each product’s current listing before you decide.

What a full mock has to include

The real test is eleven to fourteen minutes with one examiner, in a fixed order. Part 1 is a short personal interview about familiar things. Part 2 hands you a printed card and a pencil, gives you exactly one minute to plan, expects up to two minutes of unbroken speech, and ends with a short rounding-off question. Part 3 is a discussion of more abstract questions on the same theme.

Three things follow from that. The timings are part of the test, because a two-minute long turn is a different task from a one-minute one. The order is part of the test, since Part 3 arrives when you are already tired. And the absence of restarts is part of the test — in the real room you cannot decide the answer went badly and try again. A tool that lets you retake a single question until it sounds good is a useful practice aid and a poor simulation.

The products claiming a full Parts 1-3 mock

The order groups products by how specifically their own listings describe a continuous, timed run through all three parts, and lists them alphabetically inside each group — ours included, sitting where its own name falls. It is not a quality ranking, because we have not tested them against one another.

They describe one continuous timed mock across all three parts

Cathoven IELTS. Its listing describes Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 practice with exam-style questions and full mock tests returning a composite band across the four official criteria. Android and web only; its own download page lists iOS as still to come.

Our app. Ours runs the full mock — Part 1, the Part 2 cue card, then Part 3 — on the exam’s timings, and scores the sitting on the four public criteria as a range from a strict examiner reading to a lenient one, with recurring mistakes named. iOS and Android; no Listening or Reading.

SmallTalk2Me. Its own text describes an AI simulator for IELTS Speaking Parts 1, 2 and 3 with instant grading, plus a separate Writing simulator. Web only as far as we could establish — no store listing was found on either platform.

SpeakPrac. Its listing calls itself a “full IELTS speaking mock test app with Parts 1, 2, and 3” and describes real exam timing and an authentic test format, returning an estimated band and improved versions of your answers. Android and web only.

Speechful. Its own pages describe practice across Parts 1, 2 and 3 under timed, exam-like conditions with an AI examiner, followed by a detailed report. Web only; no store listing found.

Sprechify. Its site describes real two-way spoken conversation across Parts 1, 2 and 3, with one mock covering all three parts under real IELTS timing and phoneme-level pronunciation feedback. Web only; no store listing found.

Stimuler. Its App Store description advertises live video mock tests that “mirror the real IELTS experience,” and its site says it covers Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 with topic-specific sessions and AI scoring. iOS and Android; its real site is stimuler.tech, since stimuler.com is a parked domain.

They claim a mock but describe the structure less precisely

IELTS Prep - TalkFace. Its listing promises to “fully simulate IELTS Speaking and Writing exams with realistic mock tests and instant scoring,” but does not break the Speaking mock down into parts or state its timings. iOS.

IELTSpeaking. Its listing offers “full IELTS Speaking mock tests” with AI examiner feedback and also describes practising “Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 separately,” so both a mock and per-part practice appear to be on offer. iOS.

TalkDrill. Its IELTS page describes practising Parts 1, 2 and 3 out loud with a timed cue card and an estimated band against the four criteria, without describing a single uninterrupted run. Android and web only; no iOS listing found.

Not a continuous mock, whatever the page is called

Engnovate splits Speaking evaluation into three separate Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 tools rather than one scored run, so it cannot give you the stamina half of a mock. Web only.

TestGlider’s website divides Speaking study by part and refers to full mock tests, but both its App Store and Google Play listings describe TOEFL preparation only and never mention IELTS — worth knowing before downloading the app for IELTS.

British Council’s IELTS Ready is a web platform describing mock tests with estimated four-skill scores and AI feedback. Its page does not describe the Speaking test’s internal Part 1/2/3 structure, so we cannot say how that element runs.

How they compare

Our own browser mock test, described plainly

There is a full Speaking mock test on this site that runs in your browser with nothing to install, and it is worth describing exactly rather than selling. It opens with the examiner’s greeting and eight short Part 1 questions drawn from two topics, roughly thirty seconds each. Part 2 gives you a cue card from the site’s own library, one minute to plan in a notes box, up to two minutes to speak, and one rounding-off question. Part 3 asks five discussion questions on the first topic, about forty-five seconds each. End to end it takes around thirteen minutes. You can have the questions read aloud, and you can record yourself; the recordings stay in that browser tab and are not sent anywhere.

What it deliberately does not do is give you a band. At the end you get your own timings, your own recordings and your Part 2 notes, and the suggestion to find the bullet you skipped and the Part 3 question you answered shortest. That is a different job from scoring, and it is the one a first mock is actually for — which is also the subject of our post on what to expect from a first mock test.

How we put this list together

Every claim above is taken from the product’s own App Store or Google Play listing, or its own website, fetched on 18 September 2026. No review sites, no third-party roundups. We have not run these mocks against each other or measured how closely any of them keeps to the exam’s clock, so this is not a quality ranking — the grouping reflects how specific each product’s own mock claim is. We make one of the products listed and have described it with the same restraint as the others. Where something could not be verified, the page says so.
