What Skills are Assessed?

The following skills and parameters are assessed during the IELTS Speaking Test:

• Your verbal fluency and coherence (your speaking speed and ability to make sense).
• Your lexical assets and resources (how wide is your vocabulary range).
• Your grammar and syntax (your ability to use a range of tenses and sentence structures accurately and
clearly).
• Your pronunciation (how correct is your English accent).

Silence
Being quiet shows that you lack responsiveness which can leave
an impression that you are either not confident or not proficient
with the language. It’s fine to waver for a couple of moments
before talking or between thoughts, however, the silence of
longer than five seconds will go down your way.
