Tips for taking the exam

This is a relaxed voice conversation with an AI interviewer — not a test with trick questions. A little preparation helps you show your real spoken English. Share this with your candidates.

1

Set up before you start

Pick a quiet room and use headphones if you can — it makes the interviewer easier to hear and your voice clearer to record. Make sure you have a stable internet connection.

The exam opens with a short how-it-works and a quick mic & speaker check.

Allow your microphone

When the browser asks, allow microphone access. There's a short mic and speaker check first so you know everything works before any question counts.

Listen, then answer by voice

The interviewer asks one question out loud. Tap Start answer, reply naturally, then tap again when you're done. If you missed the question, you can replay it.

Speak like a real conversation

  • Answer in full sentences and explain your reasons — short “yes/no” answers give less to assess.
  • Speak at a natural pace. There are no trick questions.
  • Don't aim for perfection — keep the conversation going. Small mistakes are normal.
It's about 10 questions and takes 10–15 minutes. Stay on the tab and don't refresh mid-exam. When you finish the last question, you're done — you can close the tab.
