IELTS Speaking Test Assessment Criteria:

The IELTS speaking test is the fourth and final part of the IELTS exam. You can take the IELTS speaking test either 7 days before or 7 days after the listening, reading and writing tests, but it’s usually done on the same day as the other tests.
In the IELTS speaking exam you sit with an IELTS examiner for about 15 minutes and attempt three speaking tasks. The tasks get increasingly more difficult because they require more complex language to perform them successfully.
IELTS Examiners use 4 assessment areas to award a band score for each of these four areas:
Fluency and Coherence
Lexical Resource (i.e. vocabulary)
Grammatical Range and Accuracy
Pronunciation
Your final speaking band score is the average of the four scores.
