What should I prepare before recording a full IELTS Speaking mock?

Oct 19, 2026
Short answer

Have instructions and suitable material for all three parts, a way to manage the timing, and a recording setup you have checked. Decide who will present the prompts and move between parts. If you practice alone, arrange the material beforehand and acknowledge that a solo exercise cannot reproduce a live examiner's interaction.

Find a suitable set through the official IELTS sample-question resources, read its instructions, and check that you have material for all three parts. Test your microphone with a short recording before beginning. A partner can manage the prompts and transitions; when practicing alone, arrange the material so you can follow the sequence without hunting through pages.
