When is the IELTS Speaking test usually taken?

Generally speaking, the difficulty of each IELTS test is the same, so candidates can choose any suitable time to take the test. However, IELTS changes questions every four months, which may have a certain impact on candidates with a slightly weaker foundation.

IELTS candidates can choose a specific speaking test date and a specific time in the morning and afternoon 2 days before the test registration deadline. In order to facilitate test takers to plan their time more reasonably, IELTS Registration** has newly launched the Speaking test date booking function. This feature is available two days before the registration deadline and ends at the same time as the registration deadline.

If you do not have a reservation or are unable to book a time, we will automatically schedule the export test for you later. Please note: This booking is an intentional arrangement only, please refer to the admission ticket for your final speaking test date and time.

The IELTS test is generally taken in the afternoon of the same day or the afternoon of the next day, and you can check the specific time on the official website the day before the test.

Since there are great linguistic differences between Chinese and Western cultures, there are some preparation skills for IELTS speaking, such as practicing some basic languages every day, defining something simply in English, and learning to use important British idioms.

The IELTS Speaking question bank has always been relatively stable, and several new topics are added to the test every year, and each topic includes several new questions, but the number is limited, and the question types are the same as the original, so it is not difficult to prepare for the new questions. However, perhaps due to the influence of global business, or because of the booming situation of major business exams, the content of the oral exam has expanded to the commercial field since 2012, and many of the questions are related to this aspect of the content, and even some questions about foreign company interviews have appeared, so candidates should be prepared.

The IELTS Speaking test is divided into three parts. Part I: General Questions and Answers; Part II: Topic Card Statement; Part III: In-depth discussion. Each part is 4-5 minutes, and the three parts are 10-15 minutes in total.

1. IELTS Speaking Part 1

This part of the test is very simple, it is generally the examiner's self-introduction and recognition of the candidate's identity. After that, the examiner will ask questions about topics that are more familiar to the candidate.

This part of the exam lasts about 4 to 5 minutes, and mainly tests the candidate's daily opinions and information, as well as the form of questions and communication skills.

2. IELTS Speaking Part 2

The examiner will often give the candidate a task card to answer the question, as well as pencil and scratch paper, and a topic will often appear on the task card, as well as some key points, and the candidate must state this topic to the examiner within two minutes.

This part of the IELTS test is shorter and only lasts 3 to 4 minutes, and this part tests the ability to make a personal statement.

3. IELTS Speaking Part 3

The topics covered in this section are actually an extension of the topics in the second part, and they are also discussing that it will become more broad and abstract, and it will become more in-depth.

This part of the exam is also 4 to 5 minutes long, and it mainly tests the candidate's ability to express and discuss opinions, analyze, discuss and think deeply about problems.

The IELTS Speaking test is usually taken before the written test, but how should students choose the right time for their speaking test? The following is how to choose the time of the IELTS speaking test for everyone, hoping to help students choose the right time for the IELTS speaking test.

Candidates can log in to IELTS** two days before the registration deadline to choose the test time. Therefore, it is necessary to log in in advance to choose a suitable time for the exam. Students who do not choose a time will be randomly assigned a time. (in order of last name).

Because the test time varies slightly from one area to another, the morning time generally ends from 8:30 to 12:00, but if there are multiple people taking the test, it will be postponed until 12:00

00 two start times, usually end at 16:30 p.m., but some of them are postponed to 17:40 p.m., or even at 18:00 p.m

Post-00s. So how do you choose your time?

1.Students who want to get a high score in spoken English should choose the sooner the time, the sooner the better.

The first two in the morning are better because the examiner's energy will be more abundant at that time, and the highlights and good words and sentences used by the examinee are easy to be found by the examiner. After that, the examiner will be more likely to be distracted, especially in the second part, many candidates have worked hard to prepare good content, but the examiner will miss a lot because of distraction, and the final score will be scored based on impressions.

2.It is recommended that students with general foundational skills, but with a wealth of body language and facial expressions, choose the middle of the afternoon.

The mood of the examiner during this time period will be very low, but not very low. At this time, the examiner needs more external adjustment, and will have a good impression of the students who can control the atmosphere; So it's a little bit of a mistake, but the examiner will be more lenient.

3.Students with a slightly poor foundation are advised not to choose after 11:30 and 16:00.

While this time period won't give you a noticeable score boost, it won't give you a particularly bad score either.
