Listening and speaking with audio

In the quiz you can play each recording once. After you answer you can replay it and read the transcript to see exactly where the answer was.
What it does not do
Eggzams does not mark your essays or recordings, and it is not a full mock test with real exam papers. All the questions and passages are original. It is practice for the knowledge and skills behind the test, alongside whatever speaking and writing feedback you get from a teacher.
