COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you book.
Is this an official IELTS Speaking test?
No. It is an independent IELTS-style mock assessment. You receive an informed estimated band and criterion scores, not an official IELTS result.
What is the difference between recorded and live?
The Recorded Speaking Assessment is completed online at a convenient time. The Premium Live Speaking Mock is a live 1-to-1 interview and provides the closest simulation of the real speaking test.
Does AI score my speaking?
No. A human examiner listens to your responses, selects the evidence, decides the estimated scores and approves the report. The platform only formats the examiner's decisions.
When will I receive my report?
Complete your recorded assessment or live mock by 5pm UK time and your report is delivered by the end of the next UK working day. Anything completed after 5pm, at a weekend or on a UK bank holiday is treated as completed on the next UK working day. UK working days are Monday to Friday, excluding UK bank holidays.
How are my recordings handled?
Recorded responses are kept private, used only to provide the assessment and normally deleted around 90 days after submission. Full details are in the privacy policy.
