Reading sample answers isn't the same as saying them out loud. You usually find that out when the examiner asks the first question and the words don't come. Here you can get that part over with at home. Each test has three parts: a few easy questions to start, a two-minute talk on one topic, then a discussion. You answer into your phone's microphone. When you're done, AI transcribes your answers and scores you from 0 to 9 on fluency and coherence, lexical resource, grammatical range and accuracy, and pronunciation. You also get an overall score and some advice on what to work on next. The scores are AI estimates and they aren't official. They can help you spot a weak area, but they won't tell you exactly what you'll get on exam day. Your first test is included. Premium unlocks more. This app isn't affiliated with or endorsed by any exam provider. Terms of Use (EULA): https://speaking9.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://speaking9.com/privacy
