No card needed. Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking, marked with a band for each.

All three parts

Part 1 questions about you, a Part 2 cue card with one minute to prepare and up to two minutes to talk, and a Part 3 discussion.

Marked on the four criteria

Fluency and coherence, lexical resource, grammatical range and accuracy, and pronunciation, each with a band and comments.

Hear what to improve

A spoken tutor summary explains your strengths and the two or three things that will raise your band, with a Band 8-9 model answer for every question.

No microphone?

You can type your answers instead; they are marked on language only.

Questions

How is the Speaking band worked out?
Your recorded answers are transcribed word for word, then marked on the four IELTS Speaking criteria. The four criterion bands are averaged and rounded the IELTS way. It is a practice estimate, not an official result.
Do I need a camera?
No. The test only uses your microphone. You can turn on a camera self-view to practise eye contact; it is never recorded or uploaded.
Is the Speaking test the same for Academic and General Training?
Yes. In the real exam both streams take the same Speaking test, and so does BandLevel.
