IELTS speaking: what else to expect
In the Reading or Listening sections it is quite easy to predict what will be your IELTS score. You do some tests at home, count how many questions you answered correctly, do the math – for example 34 out of 40 equals approximately Band 7.
But how do you measure yourself when it comes to the Speaking test – that’s the question!
And here comes answer: using the same criteria your examiner is going to use. I was looking for that information and found it in the IELTS official site (of all places :))
So basically this is what they say:
You belong to a Band 5 level if you
You belong to a Band 6 level if you
You belong to a Band 7 level if you
I gave you here the descriptions of Bands 5,6 and 7 because these are the IELTS bands most people want to know about, but you can see the full description of all bands here.
