FAQ
How many cue-card drills should I do each day?
Do 2 to 4 full-timer drills and review one recording in detail. Listening back to a single answer carefully usually teaches more than recording five and skipping the review.
How long should I speak in IELTS Speaking Part 2?
Aim for close to 2 minutes using a simple intro, 2 to 3 key points, and a short conclusion. The examiner will stop you at 2 minutes, so target the full window rather than finishing early.
How can I avoid running out of ideas on cue cards?
Use a fixed structure: context, detail, feeling, and takeaway. If a sub-point on the card feels weak, invent a plausible example - examiners score language, not factual accuracy.
How much planning time do I get in Part 2?
You get 1 minute to plan and can make short notes on the booklet provided. Use it to jot keywords for each bullet on the cue card, not full sentences.
Should I memorize cue card answers?
No, memorized answers are easy for examiners to spot and tend to lower your score. Memorize a flexible framework instead, then adapt it to whichever topic appears.
