Frequently asked questions

The Multilevel Speaking exam is the oral component of Uzbekistan's Multilevel English exam, run by DTM (the State Testing Centre). It has four parts — personal questions, image-based description and opinion, a one-minute long turn, and an argument discussion — sat under timed conditions with an examiner voice reading each prompt aloud.

The exam is scored on a 0–75 scale, which maps to a CEFR band from A1 to C1. LimeTalk grades each part the same way, so you get a numeric score and a band on every attempt. See the full breakdown on the scoring guide.

On the official 0–75 scale, 51–64 maps to B2 and 65–75 maps to C1. 38–50 is B1, 20–37 is A2, and below 20 is A1. Exact thresholds are on the scoring guide.

No. Part 1.1, Part 1.2, and Part 2 are each scored on a 0–5 scale; Part 3 is scored on a 0–6 scale. Out of the raw 21-point total, Part 3 alone accounts for the largest single share — see the exact breakdown on the scoring guide.

No. LimeTalk is an independent practice platform built to mirror the real exam’s four-part structure and timings. Scores are AI-generated practice estimates, not official results.

Yes. Single-part practice lets you drill one section — P1.1, P1.2, P2, or P3 — repeatedly without sitting the whole thing. Most people warm up on single parts before a full mock.

Grading follows the same rubric dimensions examiners use — grammatical range and accuracy, vocabulary, fluency, and coherence and cohesion — applied holistically per part. It’s a strong practice signal, but it’s an estimate, not a guarantee of your result on exam day.

New accounts start with free coins, enough to try a few parts before you need to top up or subscribe. Coins are spent per attempt — a single part costs less than a full test.

The app interface is available in English, Uzbek, Russian, and Turkish. The Multilevel exam itself is sat in English.

Most attempts are graded in under a minute — you get your score, CEFR band, and written feedback with a rewrite of your answer without leaving the results page.

Multilevel speaking is timed and structured very differently from IELTS: four fixed parts with set prep and answer windows, an image-based long turn instead of a topic card, and a 0–75 numeric score mapped to CEFR rather than IELTS’s 1–9 band scale. See the full comparison on the blog.
