SPEAKING TEST

PART 1

• In this part, you would have to answer questions asked by the examiner on your daily life. The test is carried out for 4 minutes in maximum. Within the short period of time, the examiner asks 3 sets of questions based on day-to-day topics. As a whole, 12 questions in total would be asked in part 1 of the "Speaking Test".
• You would have to answer in fluent English in brief and well-composed sentences, maintaining good grammatical skill and using a wide range of suitable vocabulary. You would have to be careful about the time because the examiner would note the time consumed by you for each answer. Answers of no questions are desired to be longer than a few sentences but not as short as 2 or 3 words in length.

PART 2

• Time management is a crucial factor. During the preparation phase, you have to learn 'How to use the one-minute thinking/ preparation time and then answer in 'Not less than 2 minutes'. The examiner will notice the coherence in your answer. You would be penalized if you fail to deliver a coherent/well-composed answer and the examiner fails to get your idea clearly. So, for answering in a coherent and compact way in a restricted time period, your time management would lead you to success.

PART 3

• In this part, the examiner would ask you 4 to 5 in depth questions on the topic of part 2. The examiner's aim would be checking your ability to present an opinion or express your view. Your efficiency to speculate or compare/contrast situations would be put to the test including your fluency, vocabulary, and depth of knowledge in English. You would be allowed to talk for approximately 4 minutes.
