What kind of practice does LearnLingo.ai provide?
Learners can practise the supported speaking task with task timing and preparation feedback when available. It is not an official score or official exam paper.
Where should I start a session?
Start with one non-renewing, user-wide realistic speaking practice and feedback. Exam Pass then provides one 12-month preparation window across every supported speaking route. Live speaking practice uses one shared allowance; it is not a subscription or a route-specific allowance.
How should I verify exam rules?
Use LearnLingo.ai for preparation and feedback, then check your school, test centre, exam board, or official exam source for current rules, dates, fees, and marking requirements.
