About this test

About the Job Interview English Pronunciation Test (B1 Intermediate)

In a job interview in English, the interviewer forms an impression in the first few minutes. Clear pronunciation helps your experience and skills come across confidently. This test uses intermediate and upper intermediate sentences on work topics, similar to what you might say when describing your experience, your strengths or your plans.

Why practise this at B1 level

At B1 you speak in full sentences, and sounds start to change when words join together. These intermediate sentences make you keep the sound clear at a natural speed, which is exactly what people notice in a real conversation.

How to get it right

  • Practise your key answers out loud, not just in your head
  • Speak a little slower than in casual conversation
  • Stress words that show results, such as increased and improved
  • Finish sentences clearly instead of trailing off

FAQ

Job Interview English Pronunciation Test (B1 Intermediate): FAQ

Will a strong accent hurt my job interview?
An accent alone rarely matters. What matters is whether the interviewer understands you easily. This test shows exactly which words might cause problems.
Is the job interview English pronunciation test B1 right for my level?
It suits intermediate learners. Score above ninety and move up to B2; if many words turn red, practise the A2 version first.
How long before an interview should I practise?
Start at least a week before. Take the test daily, practise the red words and rehearse your answers aloud so they feel natural on the day.
Is the job interview English pronunciation test B1 free?
Yes. It is completely free, with no sign-up and no download. You only need a microphone and a browser such as Chrome, Edge or Safari.
How is my pronunciation scored?
The browser listens to each sentence and compares what it heard with the text, word by word. Clear words turn green, almost-right words amber and unclear words red, and you get a score out of 100.
Can I choose British or American English?
Yes. Choose British or American English before you start. The model voice, the spelling and the speech recognition all follow the accent you pick.
