About these questions

The Speaking question pool changes three times a year and is never published. We write every question here ourselves, on the subjects reconstructed from candidates' own recall of the September–December 2026 pool — 16 Part 1 topics, of which 8 came in with the September change, plus 50 Part 2 cue cards and 18 Part 3 discussions built on them, 26 of the cards on subjects new this season. They are not the exam's own wording, and nobody who offers you “the real questions” has it either: candidates are not allowed to carry the paper out of the room.

That pool runs to 31 December 2026, so these are the subjects in circulation right now.
