You hear the examiner. You speak.
This runs like the real test: the examiner asks, you answer out loud, and nothing you say appears on the screen. You read the whole transcript afterwards — with your band across all four criteria.
Part 1 is short questions about you. Part 2 is the long turn — you get a cue card on screen, one minute to prepare and up to two minutes to speak, exactly as in the real test. Part 3 is the discussion. If you miss something you can ask the examiner to say it again, and we'll tell you afterwards how often you needed to.
They'll greet you and run the whole test in their own voice. You'll be face to face — pick whoever you'd be most comfortable speaking to.
A hint for the examiner, not an instruction — a real examiner may still open somewhere else, and Parts 2 and 3 are always their choice.
In the real test Part 3 grows out of your Part 2 topic. Sat on its own, the examiner names the theme in their first question and takes it from there.
Headphones help. Somewhere quiet helps more.

One minute to prepare. Then speak for one to two minutes. The examiner will tell you when to stop.
The test is about to start.
The examiner's questions stay spoken-only — you still won't see them written down.
