## What is BandNine?

Practise IELTS Speaking with Alex, an AI examiner for practice.
Rehearse Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3, then read feedback on your own answers.
Choose one correction and say that answer again.

A full Speaking mock

Answer questions aloud and hear the examiner's next question. Work through all three parts, or practise one part on its own. You do not need a practice partner.

Cue card practice

Use the Part 2 task card to prepare for 1 min, then speak for up to 2 min. Part 3 takes the discussion further. The Speaking test is the same for Academic and General Training.

Feedback on your answers

Review your answers against Fluency and coherence, Lexical resource, Grammatical range and accuracy, and Pronunciation. Each correction quotes your own words.

A criterion shows Not assessed when there is not enough evidence. Pronunciation needs usable audio. A partial assessment is labelled as partial, and there is no overall band while a criterion is missing. Estimates do not predict your test-day performance.

AI practice estimate. Not an official IELTS result.

Say it again

Say a correction aloud and compare it with your original answer. This is a practice drill. It does not change the band estimate from your mock.

Know what to practise next

Set your target band and test date. Your daily plan suggests a Speaking task. Short practice packs cover vocabulary, grammar and Part 1 answer plans, with an explanation after each question.

Credits and Plus

Speaking practice uses credits, and the cost is shown before you start. Buy credit packs or choose BandNine Plus, weekly or monthly. The included credits, the features and the renewal price are shown before you buy. A subscription renews unless you cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

Practice questions and examiner conversations are in English. You need a microphone and an internet connection.

IELTS is a registered trade mark of the British Council, IDP IELTS and Cambridge University Press & Assessment. BandNine is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by these organisations.
