Part 1 — Problem Solving
≈6 min · 8 questionsFollowing two people through a problem across three linked clips until they settle on a fix.
The first idea you hear is almost always rejected later. The answer is the last thing they agree on, not the first thing suggested.
Part 2 — Daily Conversation
≈5 min · 5 questionsOrdinary small talk — plans, favours, mild complaints — and what the speakers feel about it.
The questions ask about attitude, not facts. A polite "sure, I guess" is a no, and the options will offer you the literal yes.
Part 3 — Information
≈6 min · 6 questionsHolding several concrete details — dates, prices, names, quantities — from one long monologue.
Numbers get restated and corrected mid-sentence. Write down the last one you hear, not the first.
Part 4 — News Item
≈5 min · 5 questionsA short Canadian news bulletin: who did what, where, and what happens next.
You hear it once with a blank screen. Fix the sequence of events in your notes before the options appear, or you will be reconstructing it from memory.
Part 5 — Discussion
≈9 min · 8 questionsA three-way video discussion — keeping track of who thinks what, and who changes their mind.
Speakers interrupt and switch positions. The answer tracks the person, so note names first and opinions second.
Part 6 — Viewpoints
≈8 min · 6 questionsOne speaker building an argument, and the evidence they use to support it.
Every option paraphrases the speaker closely. A single absolute — "always", "never", "all" — is what turns a true-sounding option false.
Four passages that get progressively less literal. Time runs out in Part 4, so the budget you set in Part 1 decides your band.

Part 1 — Correspondence
≈11 min · 11 questionsReading a personal letter, then completing a reply to it.
The second half is filled from the reply’s logic, not the letter’s wording. Candidates who keep re-scanning the letter lose the time they need for Part 4.
Part 2 — Diagram
≈9 min · 8 questionsMatching a message against a diagram, floor plan or schedule.
Two options usually fit the picture. Only one fits what the message actually asks for — read the request again before choosing.
Part 3 — Information
≈10 min · 9 questionsScanning a factual passage split into labelled paragraphs and placing each statement.
"Not given" is a real answer and it is deliberately uncomfortable. If the passage does not say it, do not reason your way there.
Part 4 — Viewpoints
≈13 min · 10 questionsAn opinion article plus a reader’s comment responding to it.
Half the questions are about the comment, not the article — and this is exactly where the clock runs out. Bank time in Parts 1–3.
Two prompts, judged on four criteria. Content and Task Fulfillment sink more candidates than grammar ever does.

Task 1 — Writing an Email
27 min · 150–200 wordsWriting a real-purpose email — a complaint, a request, an apology — that answers every bullet in the prompt.
Missing one bullet caps Content and Task Fulfillment no matter how good the English is. Tick them off before you write the closing line.
Task 2 — Responding to Survey Questions
26 min · 150–200 wordsChoosing one of two options and justifying it with concrete, specific reasons.
Weighing both options reads as indecision and costs you Content. Commit to one in the first sentence and spend the rest defending it.
Eight recordings to a microphone with no listener and no second take. Filling the whole window is half the score.

Task 1 — Giving Advice
30s prep · 90s speakingGiving one named person clear, specific, actionable advice.
It is one of the two 90-second windows. Most candidates run dry around 40 seconds — plan three separate suggestions, not one.
Task 2 — Talking about a Personal Experience
30s prep · 60s speakingTelling a past story that has a beginning, a middle, and a point.
Past tense slips into present the moment you get absorbed in the story. Fix the tense in your prep, not mid-sentence.
Task 3 — Describing a Scene
30s prep · 60s speakingDescribing a still picture to someone who cannot see it.
Listing objects instead of placing them. Prepositions and spatial phrases are literally what is being scored here.
Task 4 — Making Predictions
30s prep · 60s speakingSaying what happens next in the same picture you just described.
Re-describing the scene. The examiner already heard that in Task 3 — the whole minute has to be future forms.
Task 5 — Comparing and Persuading
60s prep · 60s speakingChoosing between two options and persuading a specific named person.
You get a full minute to prepare, which tempts you to keep deliberating. Decide in the first 15 seconds or there is nothing left to say.
Task 6 — Dealing with a Difficult Situation
60s prep · 60s speakingHandling an awkward situation by choosing which of two people to speak to.
You must state who you are speaking to and hold that role for the full minute. Switching audience halfway collapses the score.
Task 7 — Expressing Opinions
30s prep · 90s speakingTaking a clear position on an issue and supporting it.
Ninety seconds needs two reasons plus a concrete example. One reason runs out at about 45 seconds and the silence is scored.
Task 8 — Describing an Unusual Situation
30s prep · 60s speakingDescribing an unfamiliar object to someone who cannot see it.
Guessing what the object is. You are not meant to know — describe shape, size, material and possible use instead.
Every part above is in the free practice bank.
