http://incompetech.com/HERE IS SOME VERY GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE IELTS SPEAKING TEST.
IELTS Speaking is a one-to-one interaction between the candidate and an examiner. The three parts give the candidate the opportunity to use a range of different speaking skills. IELTS Speaking is recorded.
TIME AND PARTS:
There are 3 parts to the IELTS Speaking Test. There is an interview which includes introduction and general questions, part 2 is Long Turn - a talk between you and the examiner (long turn for you because here you’re given a cue card/ or a task card with some prompts and you have to prepare for a minute and speak for 1-2 mins.) and part 3 is an Analytical discussion with the examiner. It takes a total of 11-14 minutes. Part 1 is 4-5 mins, part 2 is 3-4 mins and part 3 is 4-5 mins.
MARKING CRITERIA:
There are four marking criteria for the IELTS Speaking Test: FLUENCY AND COHERENCE, LEXICAL RESOURCE (Vocab), Grammatical Range and Accuracy, Pronunciation. Each one accounts for 25 % of your marks. In order to learn how to score better in each criteria watch my other IELTS videos.

About the Site 🌐

Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
