The Speaking Test is a face-to-face social interaction between the Test-Taker and the Examiner. The Speaking test is recorded by the Examiner for Marking Schemes.

There are three parts to the test, and each part follows a specific pattern of tasks in order to test your speaking ability in different ways.

In PART 1, you will be asked some general questions by the examiner on social topics such as your whereabouts, your hobbies, talks on your areas of interest, etc.

In PART 2, you will be shown a card asking you to speak on a particular topic or situation: One minute time is given to prepare. Thereafter, you must speak for up to two minutes and then answer general questions on the topic.

In PART 3, further questions will be asked about the topic given to the candidate in PART 2 at a stretch.

Remember, you must speak without hesitation and nervousness throughout the test. Apart from adjudicating fluency and eloquence, how well do you socialize with others using English as your language? This is one of the major concerns of the Examiner.
