Performing well in the IELTS Speaking test not only helps you reach your dream destination but also builds real-world communication skills.
It prepares you to express yourself clearly and confidently in everyday situations—whether you’re sharing your ideas with your classmates, presenting on a topic at work or navigating life in an English-speaking country.
Discover our new IELTS Speaking Test Video Series
That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of our new IELTS Speaking Test Video Series.
When you take the IELTS test, we want to make sure that you’re prepared as much as possible to achieve your best result, so you can thrive in your studies, career or whatever comes next.
Our three short videos explain what to expect in the IELTS Speaking test.
Each video is 6-7 minutes. You’ll see someone practising questions from each part of the Speaking test. The videos also feature an IELTS expert who gives valuable advice on how to approach these tasks so you can perform at your best.
We created these videos to help you understand the format of the IELTS Speaking test. It’s not a real test, so no score was given. You might notice some language mistakes along the way as the videos show a real person practising test questions. We hope you enjoy learning from their experience!
