Test structure

The Speaking test may either fall on the same day or any day up to a week before or after the test date. The total test time is 2 hours 45 minutes.

Test takers receive a score for each test component – Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. The individual scores are then averaged and rounded to produce an overall Band Score. In IELTS, scores are graded on the 9-band system. Mostly, an average of 6.5, with a band score above or equal to 6 in each of the 4 sections, is welcomed in most universities and schools.
