Do you know how to score a Band 7.5 in the IELTS speaking exam?

Well, you’re about to find out!

Last week, my VIP student Simona visited our office for some extra IELTS support.

She recently scored a Band 8 in IELTS speaking and was kind enough to record a full-length mock speaking test with me as her examiner.

I know this mock test will give many of you the motivation you need to finally get your required score in IELTS speaking.

In this mock exam, we’ll cover:

0:00 Band 7.5 mock speaking test
0:15 Part 1
04:32 Part 2
07:11 Part 3
11:34 Band score + feedback

Watch until the very end to see the detailed feedback I give to Simona! I use the same criteria that IELTS examiners will use to grade YOUR speaking test:

1. Pronunciation
2. Lexical Resource
3. Grammatical Range and Accuracy
4. Fluency and Coherence

What did you think about Simona’s skills? Let me know in the comments below!

THE CUE CARD WE USED IN PART 2 👇

Describe a time when you started using a new electronic device.

You should say:

What the device was.
Why you started using it.
How easy it was to use.
Explain the benefit of using the device.

What to expect in the IELTS speaking test:

🎙️ Part 1 is all about YOU.

The examiner will ask you everyday questions about your life. Common topics for Part 1 include your job or studies, your hometown and your family. This will last around 4 minutes.

📄 Part 2 is sometimes called the ‘long turn’.

The examiner will give you a cue card with a given topic on it, alongside key points for you to discuss. You will also be given 1 minute to make some notes and prepare your answer and then you will be asked to speak for up to 2 minutes.

💡 Part 3 is more abstract.

This is your opportunity to develop your answers and discuss the issues brought up by the examiner. This section will be related to the topic you discussed in Part 2 and usually lasts 4-5 minutes.

Your questions answered:

❓ Can I do a mock speaking test?
📚 Yes, all my students get mock speaking tests with an IELTS examiner when they join my VIP Course. The course is full at the moment, but you can join the Waiting List here: http://bit.ly/2VzeH1F?el=youtubedesc

❓ Should I use an American or “British” accent?
📚 Absolutely not! You’ll probably feel (and sound) a bit silly. You will never get extra marks for having a “British” accent - the key thing you should focus on is making sure the examiner can understand what you’re saying.

❓Will using lots of idioms and phrasal verbs boost my score?
📚 Idioms and phrasal verbs can help boost your score for vocabulary… BUT ONLY IF YOU USE THEM CORRECTLY. Vocabulary is 25% of your total score for the speaking test - do NOT lower it by using idioms or phrasal verbs that you don’t fully understand :(

❓ Will my body language or appearance affect my score?
📚No, your body language and appearance are NOT important in the IELTS exam. They might help you feel more confident, but the IELTS examiner can’t examine anything other than your pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency and coherence.

❓ Is it possible for me to score a Band 8?
📚 Yes! However, the average IELTS score is 5.5, so you need to get the right support and feedback in order to score a Band 8.
