IELTS Speaking Questions 2022 And Answer Hints

2022 IELTS Speaking Topics’ Mock Test

Our main job is to merge duplicated questions and revise obvious errors before showing them. Please don’t assume them as real IELSE speaking questions. They are to help candidates mock speaking test scenarios and prepare answers.

Test takers can use this resource to familiarize questions and topics before the IELTS speaking test. We list contents in 2 categories: “Recent 60 Questions” and “2020-2022 Questions“, and the latter has more than 600 questions that only VIP users can access.

(On sample pages, we provide extra questions for all users, which are also updated weekly.)

These questions are useful samples to prepare IELTS speaking test. We combine similar topics and provide vocabularies for some hot topics. Mainly, we focus on the latest questions, whose topics usually reoccur shortly.
