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 Candidate	The 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 Questions	The 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.
IELTS Speaking Part 3: Discussion with the Examiner	The test taker will be asked questions about the topic selected in Part 2. Here, you will get the opportunity to discuss more about the ideas and issues. This part lasts for four to five minutes.

Applicants can prepare for the Speaking section on IELTS based on the above mentioned format.
