Is my accent or fluency graded?
No. Not your accent, not your fluency, not your grammar. Only whether the reasoning arrives.

This is the question students ask most, so here is the direct answer: no. Speaking with an accent, hesitating, or searching for a word has no effect on your grade.
- Grading happens on a transcript made after the call, which is much more accurate for accented speech than live transcription.
- If you say a technical term in a way the system transcribes oddly, that is not treated as not knowing the term.
- Your interview may be set to Korean instead of English. Your instructor chooses the language per assignment, and more languages are on the way.
- If English is not your first language and you would like extra time, ask your instructor. It is a normal request.
