About IELTS Speaking Part 3 discussion practice

Part 3 is a four-to-five-minute discussion of broader, more abstract questions connected to the Part 2 topic. This mode asks linked discussion questions with about 45 seconds per answer. Give a clear opinion, explain your reasons, compare situations or time periods, and consider another point of view.

How the practice works

Press Start and speak. The examiner reads each question aloud and your answer timer starts automatically, just like the real interview; press Next when you finish early, or Pause at any time. If you allow recording, audio stays in your browser and is never uploaded, and you can listen back to every answer at the end. SpeakingIELTS does not predict band scores; use the self-evaluation checklist to review your answers, browse all IELTS Speaking topics and questions, or read about the free IELTS mock test.
