The IELTS Speaking test is a face-to-face interview that checks how well you speak English in real-life situations. It has three parts that get harder as you go. Part 3 is the final and hardest part, often called the “two-way discussion.” It lasts exactly four to five minutes. Here, you stop talking about your personal life (like in Part 2) and start talking about bigger ideas with the examiner.

IELTS Speaking Part 2, often called “The Long Turn,” is a unique speaking test. In this part, you receive a cue card with a main topic and three to four prompts. You get exactly one minute to prepare, and then you must speak continuously for one to two minutes without the examiner interrupting you.
