In short

An AI IELTS Speaking test uses a voice AI to play the role of the examiner. SpeakMetry's examiner speaks with you in real time, asks unscripted follow-up questions based on what you say, moves between the three parts on official timing, and then rates you against the four IELTS Speaking criteria.

What makes the AI examiner realistic

Real-time conversation

You speak and it responds live, with natural turn-taking — not typing, and not a fixed script you read from.

Adaptive follow-ups

It listens to your answer and probes further, exactly as a real examiner does, so you can't rehearse a canned monologue.

Authoritative timing

It manages the one-minute Part 2 preparation, the long turn, and the transitions between parts to official IELTS timing.

Criterion-based scoring

Afterwards it scores Fluency & Coherence, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range & Accuracy, and Pronunciation, anchored to the official band descriptors.

Frequently asked questions

How does an AI IELTS Speaking examiner work?
It combines a real-time voice model that talks with you and a scoring pass that grades your transcript against the official band descriptors. The examiner asks questions, reacts to your answers with follow-ups, and controls the timing of each part.
Is the AI examiner as good as a real one?
No AI perfectly replicates a human examiner, but it is consistent, available on demand, and scores directionally in line with the official criteria — which makes it excellent for practice between now and test day.
Does it understand different accents?
Yes. It's designed to handle a wide range of accents, the same way a human examiner is trained to. Clear pronunciation still matters because it's one of the four scored criteria.
Can I retake the AI test?
Yes — you can take as many sessions as your plan includes, and the questions vary each time.
