HERE IS SOME VERY GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE IELTS SPEAKING TEST.
IELTS Speaking is a one-to-one interaction between the candidate and an examiner. The three parts give the candidate the opportunity to use a range of different speaking skills. IELTS Speaking is recorded.
TIME AND PARTS:
There are 3 parts to the IELTS Speaking Test. There is an interview which includes introduction and general questions, part 2 is Long Turn - a talk between you and the examiner (long turn for you because here you’re given a cue card/ or a task card with some prompts and you have to prepare for a minute and speak for 1-2 mins.) and part 3 is an Analytical discussion with the examiner. It takes a total of 11-14 minutes. Part 1 is 4-5 mins, part 2 is 3-4 mins and part 3 is 4-5 mins.
MARKING CRITERIA:
There are four marking criteria for the IELTS Speaking Test: FLUENCY AND COHERENCE, LEXICAL RESOURCE (Vocab), Grammatical Range and Accuracy, Pronunciation. Each one accounts for 25 % of your marks. In order to learn how to score better in each criteria watch my other IELTS videos.
HOW MANY QUESTIONS:
You will be asked 12 questions in Part 1 (these are based on three different topic) and in part 3 you’ll be asked 5 or more questions- it depends on the length of your answers. Try to aim for long, detailed answers in part 3.
