Sit the whole Speaking test, timed, in your browser
Part 1, a cue card with the one-minute prep, then Part 3 follow-ups — the real timings, an examiner voice if you want one, and every recording kept on your device.
Set it up, then don’t stop
A mock only works if you sit all of it in one go, including the two minutes where you run out of things to say. Pick a topic or let the test pick for you, then answer out loud — not in your head.
- Part 1 — the examiner’s opener, then eight short personal questions drawn from two topics, about 30 seconds each.
- Part 2 — a cue card from the library, one minute to plan with a notes box, up to two minutes to speak, then one rounding-off question.
- Part 3 — five discussion questions on the first topic, about 45 seconds each.
About 13 minutes end to end. Nothing is stored, nothing is sent anywhere, and no recording ever leaves your browser.

What the real test looks like
Eleven to fourteen minutes, face to face with one examiner, in three parts that always come in the same order.
4–5 min
Part 1
The examiner checks your identity, then asks short questions about familiar things — where you live, your work or studies, how you spend your evenings. Two or three topic sets, a few questions each. Two or three sentences per answer is the right length.
1 + 2 min
Part 2
You are handed a cue card with a topic and three or four bullet points, plus paper and a pencil. One minute to prepare, then you speak until the examiner stops you — up to two minutes — and answer one short rounding-off question.
4–5 min
Part 3
A discussion linked to the Part 2 topic, but abstract: causes, comparisons, consequences, what might change. Answers get longer, and the examiner will push back on what you say.
Total: 11–14 minutes. This simulator follows the same order and the same timings, which is why it takes about 13 minutes to sit.
How to use a mock
- Sit it in one go. The tiredness in the last two minutes of Part 3 is part of what you are practising for, and skipping ahead removes exactly the thing that is hard.
- Record it, then listen once without pausing. You will hear the repetitions, the fillers and the sentence you abandoned halfway — none of which you can hear while you are talking.
- Check how long your Part 2 actually lasted. If you dried up at 70 seconds, the problem is your planning minute, not your vocabulary.
- Repeat the same topic a week later, not an hour later. The second attempt should come from remembering the structure, not from remembering the words.

What this simulator is, what it isn’t, and what happens to your recordings.
Is this the same as the real IELTS Speaking test?
It follows the same structure and the same timings: three parts, a one-minute prep and a two-minute turn in Part 2, eleven to fourteen minutes in total. What it does not have is an examiner. Nobody is listening, nobody interrupts you or follows up on something you said, and nothing here is marked. Treat it as a rehearsal of the shape of the test, not as the test.
Can I get a band score for this mock?
Not on this page — it has no way to hear you. In the IELTS Mentor AI app the same full mock is scored on the four criteria, with a band range from a strict examiner to a lenient one and the specific sentences that cost you the half band. Here, the useful output is your own timing and your own recording.
Are the questions real IELTS questions?
They are the kinds of questions candidates commonly report after their test, written by us and grouped by topic. Nobody outside the test room has the actual question list, and the exact wording changes anyway. What is worth preparing is the topic and the shape of the answer, which is what these questions give you.
Do you keep my recordings?
No. Recording happens entirely in your browser and the audio never leaves your device — there is no upload, no account and no storage. Close the tab and the recordings are gone, which is why the results screen offers you a download link for the ones you want to keep.
