Understanding your IELTS Speaking report

Your Speaking report scores you on the four official criteria and shows exactly what you said.

Scores

• Overall: your Speaking band
• Fluency & Coherence: speaking smoothly without long pauses, with ideas that connect
• Lexical Resource: range and accuracy of vocabulary, including less common words and collocations
• Grammar, Errors & Corrections: range and accuracy of grammar, with each error corrected
• Pronunciation: how clear and natural you sound

Feedback

• Strengths: what's already working
• Weaknesses: what's holding your band back
• Suggestions: specific things to try in your next attempt

Each question

Open a part to see every question you answered:

• Your recording: play it back
• Transcription: the words we heard, highlighted as your recording plays
• Grammar & Corrections: your sentences with fixes
• Pronunciation breakdown: sounds you said well and sounds to work on (green, amber, red)
• Speaking speed: Slow, Medium or Fast. Aim for a natural medium pace.

If a part says No answers recorded for this part, the recording for that part didn't reach us.
