IELTS Speaking Practice Tests
The Speaking test is the same for both the Academic and General Training exam. During the Speaking test, you will have a discussion with a certified IELTS Examiner. It is interactive and as close to a real-life situation as a test can get. Be prepared by familiarizing yourself with the format of the test.
The test is 11 to 14 minutes long with three parts.
