Test-takers of the IELTS Speaking test often face several common challenges. Here are some of the greatest ones:
1. Nervousness and anxiety
2. Limited vocabulary
3. Pronunciation issues
4. Fluency and coherence
5. Grammatical accuracy
6. Misunderstanding questions
7. Developing Ideas
8. Lack of Practice
All of these challenges usually intersect, that is, they may all affect each other. Lack of practice worsens your anxiety and inability to think under pressure, and a lack of vocabulary will certainly affect your fluency if you're struggling to think of the correct word to describe your ideas. On the upside, lots of practice and getting to know the ins and outs of the test will also make you more confident and comfortable on test day. Start somewhere, perhaps on getting to know common topics and seeing if you can answer typical IELTS questions on those topics. Keep track of the questions that stump you--the questions you can't answer--and find useful materials about them. Then go back and try again. As they say, rinse and repeat, which is a good way to say repeat a process that works for you. Through knowing your weaknesses, and doing targeted practice and preparation, you can improve your performance in the IELTS Speaking test.
