Professor Winn's Comment - #IELTS Myth 22 - From LinkedIn

 The original article appeared on LinkedIn.

Professor Winn Responds:

I've never even heard of this notion before.

 

Candidates must remember that the #IELTS #Speaking test is just a platform to demonstrate your whole range of #English speaking skills.

 

Parts 1 and 2 happen to be in a Question-Answer format.

 

However, candidates need to be ready at every instance to show their high range of English fluency and keep in mind that the IELTS graders evaluate your English, not your opinions in any case.

 

Really, by the time Part 3 happens, the IELTS grader knows 2/3 of your score.

 

Most of the scoring takes place in Parts 1 and 2, and candidates must perform at their strongest.

 

Indeed, from the beginning, candidates need to convince the IELTS graders of 2 things:

 

✔ 1) I'm a highly confident English speaker, and

✔2) I'm a highly competent English speaker.

 

Good luck with your exam! 😉
