IELTS speaking exam... what to know before you go on the exam
Who is the Examiner?
Any native English speaker that is a professional teacher
He/She have received specific IELTS training to make sure they judge you fairly and honestly.
What the examiner listens for?
Pronunciation - Speak clearly and you will be all right.
Vocabulary - using words incorrectly will LOWER your score! Avoid using difficult words or expressions unless you are sure of how to use them.
Sentence Structure - Using better sentences is the best way to improve your speaking score in a short time.
Fluency and Coherence - Of course fluency is very important but it is useless if you are not understood (if you are not "coherent"). You do NOT have to speak quickly, but too many hesitations are bad.
Your Score
If you cannot make good sentences, if you hesitate too much, if your speaking is not clear or if you use words incorrectly, you will be Band 4 or below.
To be Band 5, you can make mistakes and have hesitations, but you must make simple sentences easily and without mistakes.
To be Band 6, you must be able to use longer sentences with fewer hesitations. You need to use a variety of language. You can make some small mistakes if your meaning is still clear. Also, you should be able paraphrase. To be Band 7, you should be able to do Part 2 with no problem. You must use a variety of sentences and connect the sentences well. You must correctly use difficult vocabulary. You can make very small mistakes if your meaning is clear. You should be able to paraphrase very well.
