Asta Achievers ( Frequently Asked Questions about IELTS Speaking)

Q-1 Why is the IELTS speaking test recorded?

• The recording is needed in case your performance needs to be re-marked.

Q-2 What if I don’t know anything about the topic in part 2?

• The topics are carefully chosen to reflect common experiences, so you don’t need special knowledge to talk about them.

Q-3 What can I take into the test room?

• You can only take your identity documents. The examiner will give you everything you need in the test.

Q-4 Is it a good idea to learn short speeches about my town or job by heart?

• No, you should listen carefully to the examiner and just respond to the questions. If you say something you have memorized, you probably won’t answer the examiner’s question exactly.

Q-5 What should I do if I don’t understand a question or the part 2 task?

• You should tell the examiner that you don’t understand. In parts 1 and 3, the examiner will be able to repeat the question.

In part 3, the examiner will be able to ask the question differently or may be able to help you to understand the question.

Q-6 How long should I talk for in part 2?

• You will have the opportunity to talk for 2 minutes. You should try to talk for the full 2 minutes to give the examiner a good sample of your English.

Q-7 Do I have to write notes in part2?

• No, making notes is just an option. Some candidates prefer just to think about what to say, whereas others find that making notes to organize their ideas and to keep talking.

Q-7 Can I start speaking before the 1-minute preparation time is over in part 2?

• Yes, if you don’t need the whole minute, you can begin speaking when you are ready. However, it is a good idea to use all of the preparation time.

Q-8 Will the examiner tell me if I have done well or not?
