IELTS Speaking Test Guide

The Speaking test consists of three parts that are completed in an 11-14 minute face-to-face interview with an examiner. In Part 1, the examiner asks general questions about yourself. In Part 2, you give a one to two minute prepared talk on a topic card and may be asked one or two follow up questions. Part 3 involves discussing the topic from Part 2 in more depth with questions from the examiner. Fluency, vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation are key skills assessed. Preparation is important and can include practicing conversations in English.
