How scoring works
Every attempt gets one overall score plus four component scores. They measure different things, and knowing which one is low tells you what to practise.
A single number combining the four scores below. It is the quickest read on how close you sounded to a clear native speaker.
To improve: Look at the component scores rather than this one. The overall number tells you how you did; the components tell you what to change.
Accuracy
How closely each sound matched the expected pronunciation, word by word.
To improve: Slow down and exaggerate the word that scored lowest, then say it at normal speed. The underlined words in your result show where to start.
Fluency
How smoothly the sentence flowed: pauses in the wrong places, hesitation, and unnatural gaps between words.
To improve: Read the sentence silently first, then say the whole thing in one breath. Fluency rewards continuity, not speed.
Completeness
How much of the phrase you actually said. Skipped or swallowed words bring this down.
To improve: If this is low, you are probably dropping small words like "the" and "of", or trailing off at the end. Finish the sentence deliberately.
Prosody
Stress, rhythm and intonation: whether you emphasised the right syllables and your pitch rose and fell like a native speaker.
To improve: This is the hardest one and the most human. Play the sentence back with the listen button, then copy the melody rather than the words.
