Honestly feels like the test is measuring a testee's ability to be a good storyteller rather than their language proficiency

[@caioconstantino5051]

I was just about to write that. You can be a native speaker and receive a low score simply because you prefer not to respond to a straightforward question with a three-minute answer. Makes no sense

[@nicovanmu8659]

IELTS is the biggest scam stealing money legally made. It doesn't asses your English skills, it asses how much you perform in these type of tests ...

[@serdarbas5364]

I agree % 100

[@miuix4795]

Finally someone who thinks the same as me!If you're an introvert, you have no chance at something like this!That's a problem. Another problem is when ratings are based on likeability (very strong here in Austria)

[@kamranbayramov8169]

You completely right

[@francesco5254]

Sometimes these exams feel truly absurd. "When was the last time you went shopping at Tesco?" was answered with "About a week ago". If this type of answer is considered problematic because it's too short, then the exam evaluation criteria need to be reviewed or the questions need to be changed. No english person ever would add anything to this answer in a REAL conversation. For the REAL world, this was a perfectly valid answer. (I passed a similar english test with 111/120, so it's not like I'm writing because I'm angry at them)

[@ZooLohina]

I agree with you. In my native language I would answer the same.

[@haniy167]

yes i used to think about that. but now i think to myself to always add “whats the experience?” in my mind after being asked. simply cause i think the more we speak, then more things could be determined by the examiner. if its short answers, then theres no challenge for us, nothing to be scored.

[@francesco5254]

@@haniy167 that is because the evaluation criteria push you to think this way and force you to invent as many things as possible for every answer that you give. But my point is that forcing you to do that is not a good evaluation of your english level, rather an evaluation of your capability to come up with some random thoughts quickly. Real conversations don't work this way, so it's pointless to test your english skills with something that doesn't really say anything about the effectiveness of your communication.

[@haniy167]

@@francesco5254 i know real conversations dont work that way.. anyway ill just agree to disagree

[@rizle1]

​@francesco5254 you are absolutely right. These questions test how quickly the person is able to imagine the situation and come up with a response. It does not test at all the person's ability to articulate his thoughts during normal conversations.

[@DiDi_IELTS]

I think this is a great example of how students often misunderstand how the speaking test is marked. This person probably would not score a 4.0, but a 4.5-5.0 is quite likely. The [full] speaking band descriptors are available to the public now and you have to be able to meet all the positive criteria of a band to qualify for that score. In the beginning he did well with part 1, but those questions are designed to be quite easy and are used mainly for the candidate to get comfortable with the test format before moving onto the other sections. The main weighting of the score will come in the later 2 segments. In parts 2 and 3, he definitely relies on pauses and hesitations to answer the question(s). His vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation is not exemplary enough to warrant a higher score than a 6. I will say that the (mock) examiner was not very supportive and moved onto the next question when it was clear the candidate demonstrated problems with understanding of the question. The candidate could have produced more coherent langauge if given the opportunity.

8:53 A subordinating conjunction is a word that joins a dependent clause to an independent clause. Dependent clauses cannot stand alone as sentences because they do not express a complete thought. Independent clauses can stand alone as sentences because they express a complete thought. Subordinating conjunctions are used to show the relationship between the dependent clause and the independent clause. Some common subordinating conjunctions include: After: After I finish my homework, I will go to the park. Although: Although I was tired, I stayed up to finish my homework. As: As I walked down the street, I saw a cat sitting on a fence. Because: I went to the store because I needed milk. Before: Before I went to bed, I brushed my teeth. If: If I get an A on my test, I will go to the movies with my friends. Since: I have been friends with her since kindergarten. So: I was so tired, so I went to bed. That: I know that you are busy, but I need your help. Though: Though I was cold, I stayed outside to watch the stars. Unless: I will not go to the party unless you invite me.

"more and more people but less horses" 🤣🤣 I think that i need to add this quote to my personal top

[@leonelelen1165]

The judge explained why he got a low score, but his "correct" way doesn't sound like a daily normal conversation. "Certainly, please allow me a moment to take my passport out of my pocket and turn to the page with the credentials..." Gah! Just take it already! I'm starting to realize that IELTS Speaking scoring is pretty subjective. Although there are criteria on how they score the students, but there are some examiners that are ok with "pause, repeat the question, talk slower (as long as using the correct grammar and tenses)", but apparently not with this Academy English...
