The first part consists of introducing yourself and discussing various familiar topics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second part, the candidate will get a cue card. The candidate will get 1 minute to prepare for the cue card topic. After preparing one minute, the candidate has to speak about the cue card for at least 2 to 3 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third section is a continuation of the second, allowing you to discuss more abstract ideas related to the initial topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every test is recorded, and the speaking part is done with an examiner who asks you questions (i.e., an oral interview). You\u2019ll be judged on your fluency, grammar, and pronunciation, among other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three parts in IELTS speaking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Part 1 (Introduction): <\/strong>This section consists of an introduction and an interview, with questions pertaining to familiar issues such as home, studies, work, and hobbies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Part 2 (Cue card):&nbsp; <\/strong>The test takers are given a card with a topic on which they must speak for two minutes. The examiner can ask 1 to 2 follow-up questions on the same topic. The exam takers are given a minute to prepare once the topic is presented and a piece of paper and a pencil to take notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Part 3 (Follow-ups): <\/strong>The examiner and test taker address topics relating to the topic presented in Part-2 in a more abstract and in-depth manner in this section.

Here is the list of challenges and simple steps to overcome them;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time management &#8211; <\/strong>This is the biggest and most common challenge many students face during the IELTS exam. The students face this issue during the reading and writing module of the exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution &#8211;<\/strong> While practicing, always try to finish your writing and speaking 5 minutes in advance. You can set a time limit of 55 minutes for these sections instead of 60 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vocabulary and Lexical Resource &#8211;<\/strong> This is also an issue for some students that they do not use Vocabulary and Lexical Resources in their writing and speaking module, which causes them band deduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution &#8211;<\/strong> To overcome this, students must use a notebook to write down the latest topic-wise vocabulary. Whenever you hear a new word, write down its meaning and try to use it in sentences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reading Speed &#8211;<\/strong> This is also an issue for some students because their reading speed is very slow, and they can\u2019t even read the reading passages in the given time. Due to this, they are not able to complete all the questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution &#8211;<\/strong> This problem arises because students start reading for understanding when there is no need to understand the complete passage. You just have to find the keyword that you got from the question and use the skimming process to find that keyword in the passage and then read some content before or after that keyword. This will save you plenty of time and you can complete your reading on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this blog, I have explained everything about \u201cwhat is IELTS.\u201d I hope this blog has cleared all your queries about the IELTS exam.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IELTS is a valuable qualification for many English learners.
