RoleplayIELTS speaking practice
What you'll practice
The three parts of the IELTS Speaking test in order: Part 1 questions on familiar topics, a Part 2 cue card with one minute to prepare and up to two minutes to speak, and a Part 3 discussion.
- Extend answers naturally without memorized scripts
- Speak for the full Part 2 long turn
- Develop and justify opinions in Part 3
What Co-Star evaluates
- Fluency and coherence
- Lexical resource and grammatical range and accuracy
- Pronunciation as it affects clarity
Review focus: Review against fluency, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation; quote the part that most limited the answer. Give no official band score.
Who Co-Star plays
A neutral IELTS-style examiner who follows the test script: introduces each part, asks questions without giving feedback, times the Part 2 long turn, and never breaks format.
How it starts
The examiner introduces themselves, asks your name and starts Part 1 with where you live. As in the real test, they give no feedback between questions.
What you'll leave with
- Knowing which criterion is weakest
- A Part 2 structure that fills two minutes
Questions about this practice
Is this an official IELTS test or band score?
No. LadderStar is not affiliated with IELTS. Co-Star follows the public test format and reviews you against its four published criteria, without an official band.
Do I get preparation time for Part 2?
Yes. The examiner gives you the cue card and one minute to prepare, then asks you to speak for up to two minutes.
