IELTS Academic Speaking test format
Official overview of the three parts, timing, tasks and four assessment criteria. Read it once, then use the interactive format story and a real topic.
Open on IELTS.org ↗This centre separates three things that are often mixed together: interactive IELTSpeaking practice, original printable worksheets and official IELTS source material. Every item says who produced it and what the next learning action is.
Speaking-first route
Choose a Speaking Topic →
Do one speaking action before collecting another file.
Open a current topic, answer once, then use the score sheet or format guide to review evidence. Downloads support the practice loop; they are not the product by themselves.
Browse IELTSpeaking worksheets on the web
These are original IELTSpeaking resources hosted on this site. Choose a file to preview it without leaving the page; open or download it only when you need a printable copy.
Current IELTS Speaking topics
Open PDF ↗Official IELTS sample materials, clearly labelled
The items below remain on IELTS.org. IELTSpeaking links to the source and adds a suggested study action; it does not present official files as its own or create an unlicensed mirror.
Academic sample test questions
Official sample materials across Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. Use the source index for the exact paper, audio, transcript or answer material provided there.
Browse official samples ↗IELTS scoring in detail
Official explanation of Overall Band averaging, sample calculations, section scoring and score validity.
Open scoring guide ↗Turn resources into a recording
Knowledge becomes useful when it changes an answer. Choose a topic, record it privately in the browser, compare a model and retry with one criterion in focus.
