The IELTS Speaking section monitors the spoken English of the candidate. Every test is recorded. Check out the format of the IELTS Speaking section below:

Parts on IELTS Speaking Description
IELTS Speaking Part 1: General Questions about the CandidateThe examiner will ask the test taker general questions about you and familiar topics like work, studies, or home. The first part is of four to five minutes.
IELTS Speaking Part 2: Cue Card + Follow-up QuestionsThe test taker will be given a card that asks him about a specific topic. Here, you will be given one minute to prepare before speaking for two minutes. The examiner will then ask one or two questions on the selected topic.
