Real scores, not just a recording

Most free tools let you record and stop there. Ours rates every response against the official criteria and tells you exactly what to fix.

Speaking, scored

Pronunciation, intonation, stress, grammar and how fully you answer, rated 0–200.

Writing, scored

Grammar, vocabulary, organisation and task completion, checked against the official rubric.

Specific feedback

Not just a number, clear notes on what cost you points and how to fix it next time.

In minutes

No waiting days for a human rater, your scored report is ready within minutes.

Try before you start

Two sample tasks

One speaking, one writing, with a model answer so you can see what a strong response looks like.

Speaking · Q11 · Express an opinion
45s to prepare · 60s to speak
Some people prefer to work for a large company, while others prefer a small company. Which do you think is better, and why? Give reasons and examples.
Model approach: Open with a clear thesis, give two reasons with examples, and close: “I believe a large company is better for most people. First, they offer more training and clearer promotion paths… Second, they tend to offer better job security… While small companies offer variety, the stability matters more to me. That's why I'd choose a large company.”
Writing · Q1–5 · Sentence from a picture
Use both given words · one sentence
Picture: A man is repairing a bicycle in a garage. Words to use: repair / because
Model answer: “The man is repairing the bicycle because the tire is flat.” Both words are used, the grammar is clean, and it clearly relates to the picture, accuracy scores higher than ambition here.

Scoring, task by task

How each of the 19 tasks is scored

Raters award each task points on a fixed scale, then the totals convert to a 0–200 score for each section. Knowing the scale shows you where the quick points are.

TaskRatedWhat earns the top mark
Speaking · 11 tasks · scored 0–200
Read a text aloud (Q1–2)0–3Clear pronunciation, natural intonation and stress, no dropped words.
Describe a picture (Q3–4)0–3Full sentences about who, what and where, with at least one relevant detail.
Respond to questions (Q5–7)0–3Direct, complete answers in full sentences, started as soon as the beep sounds.
Respond using information provided (Q8–10)0–3Correct details taken from the schedule or notice you were given.
Express an opinion (Q11)0–5A clear position, two reasons with examples, and connected, sustained speech.
Writing · 8 tasks · scored 0–200
Write a sentence based on a picture (Q1–5)0–3One accurate sentence that uses both given words and fits the picture.
Respond to a written request (Q6–7)0–4Every action the email asks for, in a suitable professional tone.
Write an opinion essay (Q8)0–5A clear opinion, developed reasons and examples, and tidy organisation.

Speaking results are reported in 8 proficiency levels and Writing in 9, and both scales are also aligned to the CEFR (roughly A1 to C1).

The rubric in plain English

What the raters actually reward

Both sections are marked against the official TOEIC criteria. Those criteria come down to four things you can practise directly.

Delivery you can hear

On the speaking tasks, pronunciation, intonation and word stress carry real weight. Aim to be easy to follow, not accent-free.

Grammar and vocabulary

Accurate structures and a range of precise words lift every task, from a single picture sentence to the full essay.

Relevance and completeness

Answer every part of the prompt, on topic, with enough detail. Half-answers and off-topic replies lose the most points.

Cohesion and organisation

Connect your ideas and order them clearly. This decides the top marks on the opinion question, the emails and the essay.

Fix these first

Common mistakes that quietly cost points

Most lost marks come from a handful of habits. Here is what pulls a score down on each task type, and what to do instead.

TaskWhat loses pointsDo this instead
Speaking
Read a text aloudRushing and flattening the voice, dropping word endings.Use the 45s prep to mark hard words and phrase breaks, then read at a steady pace with rise and fall.
Describe a pictureListing nouns, then falling silent.Say the setting, then who is doing what, then one extra detail, using "is" or "are" plus an -ing verb.
Respond to questionsOne-word answers, or freezing because there is almost no prep time.Answer in a full sentence and add one reason or example. Start speaking at the beep.
Respond using informationGuessing instead of reading the notice, then giving wrong times or names.Spend the reading time locating dates, times and prices, then answer only what is asked.
Express an opinionNo clear stance and no structure.State your choice in the first sentence, give two reasons with examples, then restate it at the end.
Writing
Sentence from a pictureSkipping one of the two given words, or writing a long sentence full of slips.Write one clean sentence that uses both words and clearly matches the picture. Accuracy beats ambition.
Respond to a written requestMissing one of the actions the email asks for, or using too casual a tone.Read the email for every instruction (often two or three), cover each one, and keep it polite and professional.
Opinion essayA thin argument with no examples and weak structure.Aim for at least 300 words: an intro that states your view, two or three developed paragraphs, and a conclusion. Leave a minute to proofread.
Two more worked examples

The task types most people find hardest

A speaking task where you answer from a schedule, and a writing task where you reply to an email. Both reward covering every point that is asked.

Speaking · Q8–10 · Respond using information provided
45s to read the information · 15–30s to answer each question
Schedule you are shown: Sales Training, Room B 9:00 Welcome and goals 10:30 Handling objections (Maria Lopez) 12:00 Lunch 1:30 Role-play practice Caller asks: "I heard the morning session is led by Maria Lopez, is that right? And what happens right after lunch?"
Model approach: Correct the wrong detail, then give the right one. "Actually, Maria Lopez leads the 10:30 session on handling objections, not the welcome. Right after lunch, at 1:30, there is role-play practice." You are scored on pulling the exact detail, so read the schedule first and answer only what is asked.
Writing · Q6–7 · Respond to a written request
10 minutes · cover every action the email asks for
Email you receive: "Thank you for your interest in our co-working space. Please reply with any questions." Directions: In your email, ask TWO questions about the space and make ONE request.
Model answer: "Thank you for the information. Could you tell me whether the monthly plan includes meeting-room hours, and what the opening times are at the weekend? I would also like to request a short tour before I sign up. I look forward to your reply." Two clear questions, one request, polite tone: every required action is covered, which is what the 0–4 scale rewards.

FAQ

TOEIC Speaking & Writing test, your questions

How many tasks are in the Speaking & Writing test?
19 in total: 11 speaking tasks (about 20 minutes) and 8 writing tasks (about 60 minutes). Each section is scored 0–200, matching the official TOEIC Speaking & Writing test.
How is it scored?
Your recorded speaking and typed writing are rated by AI against the official criteria, pronunciation, intonation, grammar, vocabulary, cohesion and task completion, on the 0–200 scale, with specific feedback on what to improve.
Do I need a microphone?
Yes, for the speaking tasks, they record your voice through your device's mic, like the real test. The writing tasks are typed. Everything runs in your browser with nothing to install.
Is it free?
Yes. A full test of all 19 tasks is free to take, with AI rating and feedback included, and it stays free forever. It uses the official task format, so your practice score is a realistic guide to your real result.
What are the speaking tasks?
The 11 speaking tasks cover reading a text aloud, describing a picture, responding to questions, responding using information provided, and expressing an opinion. Our practice mirrors the same order and timing as the real test.
What are the writing tasks?
The 8 writing tasks are: five "write a sentence based on a picture" items, two "respond to a written request" emails, and one opinion essay. You type each response within the official time limit.
What is a good Speaking & Writing score?
Each section is scored 0-200 and reported as proficiency levels rather than a simple pass or fail. Many employers look for a solid intermediate range, but requirements vary by company, so focus on lifting your weakest tasks first.
How long does the whole test take?
Plan for about 80 minutes: roughly 20 minutes for the 11 speaking tasks and 60 minutes for the 8 writing tasks. Each task also gives you a short, fixed preparation time before you respond, exactly as in the real test.
Can I retake the practice test?
Yes, as many times as you like. Retaking is one of the best ways to get comfortable with the preparation-time limits and to watch your 0-200 estimate improve across attempts.
Do I need to create an account?
No, not to start. There is no signup, login or download before you begin: open the page, allow microphone access for the speaking tasks, and start right away. When you submit, you sign in with a free account to see your scores and AI feedback.
How is each of the 19 tasks scored?
Raters give each task a fixed number of points. In Speaking, the read-aloud, picture, question and information tasks are each marked 0–3, and the opinion task (Q11) is marked 0–5. In Writing, the five picture sentences are marked 0–3, the two emails 0–4, and the opinion essay 0–5. The points are added up and converted to a 0–200 score for each section.
How long should the opinion essay be?
The on-screen directions ask you to write a minimum of 300 words in 30 minutes. Aim for a clear introduction that states your opinion, two or three body paragraphs with reasons and examples, and a short conclusion, then leave a minute or two to check your grammar.
What CEFR level does my score map to?
Speaking results are reported in 8 proficiency levels and Writing in 9, and both scales are aligned to the CEFR at roughly A1 to C1. Scores are reported as proficiency levels rather than a simple pass or fail, so you can see exactly which band you fall into.
What are the biggest score-killers?
The most common are half-answers or going off topic, missing one of the actions an email asks for, forgetting to use both given words in a picture sentence, and giving no clear opinion on the essay or opinion task. Covering every part of the prompt matters more than long, ambitious sentences.
Do Speaking and Writing get separate scores?
Yes. Speaking is scored 0–200 and Writing is scored 0–200, and they are reported separately. Some employers and programmes ask for both, while others focus on just one, so check the exact requirement you are aiming for.
