Expert Tips to Improve Your Score

Master the Read Aloud task with expert strategies like controlled pacing, clear articulation, and regular practice using AI-evaluated mock questions.

Master "Chunking" During Prep Time

Use your 30–40 seconds of preparation to

mentally group words into meaningful "chunks" rather than reading word-for-word. Use punctuation commas, periods, and semicolons as natural guides to decide where to take micro-pauses for breath without breaking your flow.

Prioritize Fluency Over Absolute Perfection

The AI scoring system heavily penalizes hesitations,

repetitions, and self-corrections. If you stumble or mispronounce a word, do not stop or go back; keep moving forward smoothly to maintain your oral fluency score.

Identify and "Syllabicate" Tricky Words

While skimming during prep time, quickly spot

complex words you might struggle with. Practice them once or twice by breaking them down into syllables (e.g., "en-vi-ron-ment") so they don't trip you up during the actual recording.

Utilize Natural Intonation and Stress

Avoid a robotic, monotone voice. Use a

rising intonation for lists and a falling intonation at the end of sentences. Emphasize key content words (nouns and verbs) by speaking them slightly louder to mimic the natural rhythm of a native speaker.
