Here are the top 3 mistakes that students make in the IELTS speaking test :-) 1)Not saying enough: The examiner can only assess what they hear. Take the opportunity to speak and perform your best English. 2)Saying too much: If the examiner can’t get a word in edgeways then you may not score well. This is, in essence, a conversation so you have to listen and respond not just respond…and respond…and respond.. Also this kind of long, long answer often becomes a ramble and loses focus. How much can you say about ‘Do you like watching movies’ before it just gets boring? 3)Thinking too much about words and phrases and not giving a fluent answer: If you worry too much about how you are going to answer and concentrate too much on the vocabulary and grammar then you won’t give a spontaneous reply. Listen and reply as quickly and as best you can. If you’ve prepared well for the IELTS exam and have a good enough level of English for your band then the grammar and vocabulary will come naturally once you relax a little. If you haven’t prepared well and don’t have the right level then the best thing to do is not take the test until you are really ready.
