Natural examiner audio 3-part diagnostic Voice recording Transcript review Personal study priorities

Before you begin

This is a short diagnostic, not an official IELTS test. Answer naturally without memorising model responses.

Orientation

Part 1

Personal and familiar questions

Answer directly, then add a brief reason or detail. Natural answers are usually two to four sentences.

Part 2

Individual long turn

You have one minute to prepare and should speak for one to two minutes using a clear sequence of ideas.

Part 3

Deeper discussion

Give a clear position, explain why, and support it with an example, result, comparison, or qualification.

Diagnostic rule: Complete your first attempt before opening the model answer. The purpose is to identify what you already do well and what the next lessons need to improve.

Use headphones or a quiet room, and allow microphone access.
Speak naturally. Do not read from prepared notes.
Edit the automatic transcript if it does not accurately reflect your words.
Complete all three parts to receive your study priorities.

Part 1 diagnostic
