Your IELTS Score NOT Speaking for 2 Minutes

Jessica Beck explains how speaking for less than two minutes in IELTS Speaking Part 2 can impact your score. Stopping early may lower your fluency and coherence scores, and possibly your vocabulary score if the examiner perceives a lack of vocabulary. The speaking score is an average of all three parts, so a weak performance in Part 2 can affect the overall score. Fluency is demonstrated when the examiner interrupts you at the two-minute mark, indicating you can speak continuously.
