Points to be kept in mind while Practicing IELTS Speaking

There are a few points that can be highly focused on while practicing for the IELTS speaking test

Grammar

Grammar can be a major component during evaluation. The questions will be mainly on the past, present or future or comparatives, superlatives, opinion based and so on. So you should mainly focus on grammar while practicing.

Structure

Practicing for the test based on the actual structure will make it easier to score well in the actual IELTS test. It will be easy for you to manage the time during the actual test because you have taken the practice test with all the rules and regulations.

Fluency

IELTS speaking test is not about knowledge, it is about fluency. You should be able to speak spontaneously without any effort.

Your fluency is high when you do not give long pauses. You have to practice a lot in order to speak fluently. You can use the sample questions or take up the practice test to speak English fluently.

Pronunciation

You can also get an extra score in the IELTS speaking test if your pronunciation of some difficult words is accurate. It is important that the examiner understands your pronunciation so that he/she awards high marks for your speaking. You can also use some higher-level words if you want to get a good IELTS band score.

Vocabulary

The examiner will look for good vocabulary when you speak on a topic. So it is advisable for the test taker to work on the vocabulary as well while practicing for the IELTS speaking test. Sometimes you may be at a loss of words when you speak. In order to overcome this, you can record what you speak and find out where you struggle while speaking on a particular topic and then focus more to improve it.

Knowing your Mistakes

Most of the people are not aware of the mistakes that they do while speaking. The mistakes may mainly be on vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation. In order to overcome these kinds of mistakes, you can take up IELTS practice tests, record your performance, know your mistakes and then try to overcome those mistakes.
