These include questions that test your ability to understand main ideas and detailed factual information, ability to understand the opinions and attitudes of speakers, ability to understand the purpose of an utterance and the ability to follow the development of ideas. A variety of voices and native-speaker accents are used and each section is heard only once.

Speaking
The Speaking section assesses your use of spoken English, and takes between 11 and 14 minutes to complete with an IELTS examiner. IELTS uses real people in quiet rooms to test speaking – unlike an algorithm, an IELTS examiner will be able to make you feel relaxed and confident. They’re also able to pick up on your native accent to ensure you get the best possible score. There are 3 parts to the IELTS Speaking section.
Part 1
The examiner will ask you general questions about yourself and a range of familiar topics, such as home, family, work, studies and interests. This part lasts between 4 and 5 minutes.
Part 2
You will be given a card which asks you to talk about a particular topic. You will have 1 minute to prepare before speaking for up to 2 minutes. The examiner will then ask one or two questions on the same topic to finish this part of the test.
Part 3
You will be asked further questions connected to the topic in Part 2. These questions will give you the opportunity to discuss more abstract ideas and issues. This part of the test lasts between 4 and 5 minutes.
