A practical eight-task rehearsal
Use the task previews below for a real recording and the existing bounded practice feedback. The study libraries are separate: they show original worked examples, not the answer to your graded attempt. This collection does not create a new unrestricted grader or reproduce an official Speaking test.
- Read the task and use its preparation time to plan a few key ideas.
- Record once within the task window. Address the intended listener rather than reading a memorised speech.
- Review the feedback and listen to your own response. Pick one change you can identify in the recording.
- Try again before opening the related study example. Then compare how the example develops its ideas.
A preview offers one free practice experience under its displayed limits. Further Practice Hub items and account access follow their current free/Pro labels. Feedback is a practice estimate, not an official CELPIP rating.

Review the four dimensions
Content/Coherence
Can a listener follow the progression? Identify one idea you asserted without explaining it.
Vocabulary
Listen for an imprecise word and replace it with wording that fits this situation.
Listenability
Use the actual recording to check clarity, pauses, rhythm and emphasis. A transcript alone cannot show pronunciation.
Task Fulfillment
Check the audience, purpose, requested operation and time. A clear answer to a different task still misses the task.
Format and assessment references
Task times and teaching focus were checked against the official 2026 Speaking Pro guide and official performance examples on October 2, 2026. PrepEx examples and annotations are independently authored study material; no official score or endorsement is implied.
