IELTS Track (Bands 4–9)

Overview

The IELTS track prepares you for the IELTS Speaking test. Lessons are structured around the three parts of the exam and grouped by target band score.

Access your IELTS track by clicking IELTS Speaking in the sidebar.

Getting Started

When you first open the IELTS Speaking page, an "Assess Your Level" card guides you through a 12-minute mock exam. This gives you a predicted band score and immediately unlocks your personalised lesson list below.

Parts & Lesson Count

The track contains over 60 lessons spanning band scores 4.0 to 9.0 in half-band increments. For each band there are three part lessons (Part 1, 2, 3) and a Band Check-up. Several mid-range bands (5.5–7.0) also include extra Part 1B, 2B, and 3B practice sets for additional exposure.

•Part 1 — Introduction & Interview — questions on familiar topics (home, family, hobbies, work, daily life). Available from Band 4.0 to 9.0.

•Part 2 — Long Turn (Cue Card) — you practise speaking for 1–2 minutes on a given topic. Cue cards cover a wide range of descriptive and narrative prompts.

•Part 3 — Two-Way Discussion — deeper, more abstract follow-up questions linked to the Part 2 topic.

•Band Check-ups — a short consolidation session at the end of each band to confirm readiness before progressing.

Part 2 Cue Cards

Part 2 lessons include a cue card with a topic, bullet points to cover, and a final question — just like the real exam. You get 1 minute to prepare (or you can skip) and then speak for 1–2 minutes.
