What to expect
In the IELTS Speaking test, you will have a recorded discussion with a certified IELTS examiner lasting between 11 and 14 minutes. This will be interactive and as close to a real-life discussion as possible.
The test has three parts:
In Part 1 - you will answer questions about yourself and your family.
In Part 2 - you will speak about a given topic, which will be introduced by the examiner on the day.
In Part 3 - you will have a longer discussion with the examiner about the topic introduced in Part 2.
