IELTS Speaking Mock Tests:
Band 7.0-9.0
An outstanding performance in this video Let's look at the performance criteria...
Fluency & Coherence: Spontaneous, no over-thinking, natural and speaking at length without hesitation or self-correction. High level discourse markers.
Vocabulary: Lots of idioms and phrasal verbs. A real range and very few mistakes.
Grammar: Again... a wide range with very few, if any, mistakes.
Pronunciation: Native speaker level with no trace of national accent.
In this video you can watch an example of IELTS Speaking: Band 8 mock test. The student got an official IELTS Speaking Test band 8 score and she is especially strong in Fluency - she extends her answers and includes many reasons and examples. Her IELTS vocabulary is also particularly high - she uses a lot of idioms and phrasal verbs.
