IELTS speaking test questions

The IELTS speaking test takes about 15 minutes. It has three parts: an interview, a little speech and a discussion. The questions asked in the Speaking test are general in nature. You don’t require any specialized knowledge to answer them. And because Speaking questions often repeat, you should familiarize yourself with the questions asked in recent IELTS tests.
