Versant English Test Practice 2026: Full Speaking & Listening Practice With Answers

Audio from the Open Exam Hub video of the same name; the video shows the numbers and practice questions on screen.

A full Versant English practice session: every task type, answered out loud, with a timed pause after each prompt and a model answer and scoring tip after each pause. 77 original practice items (not real test questions), built on Pearson's official descriptions of the Versant by Pearson English Speaking and Listening Test (which Pearson says is designed to replace the Versant English Test) and the English 4-Skills Essentials Test, as of October 2026. Speech sample warm-up (30 s), Part A short answers (10), Part B repeat the sentence (16, short to long), Part C conversations (8), Part D passage questions (3 stories, 9 questions), Part E retell a passage (4, 30 s each), Part F give your opinion (4, 40 s each), then the 4-Skills tasks: sentence builds (8), typed sentence completion (5) and dictation (5), and passage reconstruction (2, read 30 s then write). Real test facts: Speaking and Listening takes about 20 minutes on the app or a computer and is scored on the Global Scale of English (10 to 90) with a CEFR level; there is no official pass mark, employers set their own cut score. Self-score: count your matching short answers, repeats and conversation/story answers out of 43; 34+ (about 80%) is our planning goal, not a Pearson number. Independent practice, not affiliated with Pearson.
