How to Ace the IELTS Speaking Test as a Nigerian Student

The IELTS Speaking test can feel intimidating, but with the right strategies, you can excel confidently. At GLOIRE UNIVAS, we’ve helped hundreds of students achieve Band 7–8.5 in record time.

Here are practical tips that work:

1. Speak Naturally, Not Perfectly

IELTS examiners are not checking for accents; they want fluency. Focus on expressing your ideas clearly without pausing too much.

2. Avoid One-Word Answers

Instead of saying:
Examiner: “Do you like traveling?”
You: “Yes.”
Try adding details:
“Yes, I do! I enjoy exploring new cultures and meeting people from different backgrounds.”

3. Practice With Real Questions

Use past IELTS speaking topics and record yourself. Listen for hesitations and repeated words.

4. Improve Vocabulary Through Daily Conversations

Replace simple words like “good” or “nice” with richer alternatives such as “fantastic,” “impressive,” or “remarkable.”

5. Join a Professional Training Class

Students who train in structured classes score significantly higher.
