The IELTS Speaking test is a face-to-face interview between the test taker and an examiner. The Speaking test is recorded.
There are three parts to the test, and each part follows a specific pattern of tasks in order to test your speaking ability in different ways.
In Part 1 you will be asked about yourself and about familiar topics, such as home and family, studies or interests.
In Part 2 you are shown a card asking you to talk about a particular topic. After a minute to prepare, you must speak for up to two minutes and then answer general questions on the topic.
In Part 3 further questions will be asked about the topic in more detail.
