The IELTS speaking test takes between 11 and 14 minutes and is in the form of an oral interview between the candidate and an examiner. During the interview you will need to answer questions asked by the interviewer,speak at length on a topic selected by the interviewer and give and justify your opinions on a range of issues related to that topic.The interview has three main parts:

•       some general questions about yourself,

your life and your interests

·      a short talk on a particular topic

·      a discussion of issues linked to the talk in part 2

in order to improve your IELTS score you should relax and speak as confidently as you can. Candidates who are not able to participate fully in the conversation may not achieve their potential band score. This may be because they haven't been able to demonstrate the level of language they are capable of producing.

Learn how the Speaking component is assessed: 

The aim of the test is to assess your ability to communicate effectively.The interviewer considers this ability in four different ways:

•   Fluency and Coherence:This measures your ability to speak without too many pauses and hesitations. It is also to do with how easily and clearly your ideas can be understood.

•   Lexical Resource:This refers to your use of words and the range and accuracy of the vocabulary you choose to use. Not only how you select words but also how well you use them will be considered.

•   Grammatical Range and Accuracy:The variety of grammar you use and how correctly you use it are both judged by the interviewer. So, the range of tenses as well as the appropriate use of them is important in all parts of the Speaking test.

•                Pronunciation: Here it is not only individual words but the whole sentences which are considered. The interviewer will be considering how easily they can understand what you are saying.
