What this task is
Take an Interview is a Speaking task with four spoken questions on everyday topics. The prompts are audio-only and you have 45 seconds to respond to each. Your answers are transcribed and reviewed for fluency, coherence, grammar, and vocabulary.
AI speaking review
Your recorded answers are transcribed by speech-to-text and reviewed by an AI rubric: fluency (from words-per-minute and pauses), coherence, grammar, and vocabulary, with an estimated 1–6 band and prioritized tips in the same structured format as Writing. Because it's transcript-based, pronunciation can't be fully assessed; this is a structured estimate, not an official score.
Strategy tips
- Use a quick frame — state your answer, give a reason, add an example — to fill 45 seconds coherently.
- Keep talking steadily; long pauses lower the fluency signal.
- Answer the actual question directly before adding detail.
- Speak clearly so the transcript captures your words accurately.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions and how long?
Four questions on everyday topics, with 45 seconds to answer each. The prompts are audio-only.
How is it scored?
Speech-to-text transcribes your answers, then an AI rubric reviews fluency, coherence, grammar, and vocabulary, returning an estimated 1–6 band and tips.
Is the feedback an official score?
No. Pronunciation and intonation can't be fully judged from a transcript, so it's positioned as structured feedback and an estimate.
