How Sarah's scoring works
Sarah is not a chatbot. She is an AI examiner trained on the official IELTS speaking test structure and marking criteria published by the British Council and IDP.
Every session follows the exact format a real examiner uses: Part 1 (4-5 minutes on familiar topics), Part 2 (a long turn with a cue card and 1 minute preparation time), and Part 3 (a two-way discussion on abstract themes).
Fluency and Coherence
How smoothly and logically you speak
Lexical Resource

Grammar Range and Accuracy

Pronunciation

How accurate is Sarah's band score?
Sarah gives you an estimated band score, not an official one. Only a certified examiner in an official test centre can produce an official IELTS result.
What Sarah does give you is a consistent, criteria-aligned assessment that identifies exactly which parts of your speaking are holding your score back, so you can practise the right things before exam day.
Sarah's scoring is calibrated against 18 real examiner-marked IELTS speaking transcripts covering every band level from 5.0 to 9.0. Her assessment follows the four official IELTS criteria exactly as published by the British Council and IDP.
