IELTS Speaking Test News

Changes to the way the speaking module of the IELTS test is marked are due shortly. Currently, candidates’ pronunciation abilities are measured using a four-band scale. From 1 August 2008, this will change to a nine-band scale. There will be no specific changes to the format of the test, but pronunciation will become more important in the overall speaking score. So, if you are taking the IELTS test after this date, best consider your pronunciation. Don’t go overboard though – in our experience candidates that try too hard to show how good their pronunciation is can actually begin to sound unnatural, and this ultimately lowers their score. Our advice: Try your best, but only that – don’t try to do more than you can do.

This is especially true in the speaking test where candidates often forfeit accuracy for quantity in a bid to impress the examiner.
