What is IELTS speaking test?

The IELTS Speaking test assesses your use of spoken English. This test consists of an interview between the test taker and the certified examiner that lasts for 11 -14 minutes. In this test, you will be given a variety of topics by the examiner, and you have to speak on those topics.

There are three parts of the IELTS speaking test, and these are:

Part 1:(4–5 minutes) Introduction and Interview. The IELTS examiner will introduce him/herself and will ask you to introduce yourself. The examiner will also ask you generic questions on topics like family, studies, work, and your interests.

Try to Relax and Be Confident

There is no need to be stressed in your Speaking test. The examiner is not giving you band score on the answers you give, but on how well you can speak on your opinion of thought. It is required that you construct error-free sentences with appropriate vocabulary and proper pronunciation. So prepare well on your speaking skills and always believe that you have prepared excellently and have great command over the language. It will help you to remain confident and relaxed at the time of the test.

Be Elaborative in your Answer

Try to avoid giving one-word answers. Try extending your answers, and it will make you sound more fluent. Fluency is assessed in IELTS, and elaborating your answers will help you sound fluent and score well.

Clarify the Question if Needed

In case you missed following the question asked by the examiner, you can ask the examiner to repeat the question, and it is perfectly fine! If you try to answer a question that you haven't listened attentively to, you might answer wrong, impacting your IELTS band score. Make sure you listen to each question carefully before answering and don't hesitate to ask the examiner again if you haven't followed the examiner.

Don't Memorize the Answers

In three IELTS speaking sections, Part one focuses on a personal topic with a scope of memorizing the answer, but part two focuses on your experiences, and you will be asked to describe a place, person or object. In part three, there is a discussion about your opinions on the previously mentioned topic. In parts two and three, you will encounter questions that you might have never been asked or you might not be prepared for and can be extremely afresh to you. While it certainly pays off equipping yourself with relevant vocabulary and common phrases and collocations , it is advisable to avoid memorising large chunks of speech. Examiners are trained to identify memorised responses, and will mark you down for this.Instead, it is recommended to study topical vocabulary. This approach can also help you improve your vocabulary for other sections of the IELTS test – and the wider your vocabulary, the better your score!
