The best way to predict the future is to create it – Abraham Lincoln

We at EDUANANNT EDUCATION believe in the above principle. Accordingly, we provide intensive training program
for the IELTS test and also provide strategies on every topic. Concurrently, in the IELTS Speaking test, you have a discussion with a certified Examiner. Additionally, it is interactive and as close to a real-life situation as a test can get.

Emphatically, the IELTS Speaking test is the same for both Academic and General Training tests.
Furthermore, the speaking test takes 11-14 minutes and consists of an interview with an examiner. Consequently, the interview is recorded.
Presently, the IELTS speaking test has three parts:

Part 1-Introduction and InterviewExaminer introduces him/herself and checks your name. The examiner then asks you questions on general topics.4–5 minutes
Part 2-Individual long
turn
Examiner gives you a written task card. You have 1 minute to think
(take notes) before you have to speak for 1–2 minutes.
Examiner asks one or two questions at the end of your talk.
3–4 minutes
(including
1 minute
preparation
time)
Part 3-Two-way discussionDiscuss with the examiner more abstract issues and concepts
which are thematically linked to the topic of your talk in Part 2.
4–5 minutes

The IELTS Speaking Test 9-band scale

You will be given a score from 1 to 9 for each part of the test – Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.
Markedly, the average produces your overall band score. Consequently, you can score whole (e.g., 5.0, 6.0, 7.0) or half (e.g., 5.5, 6.5, 7.5) bands in each part of the test.
