Does the IELTS examiner repeat questions in the IELTS speaking test?

Yes, in the IELTS Speaking test, the examiner can repeat the question if you ask them to. However, they are not allowed to rephrase the question or provide explanations for any vocabulary. If you ask the examiner to repeat the question, they will typically do so, but generally only once before moving on to the next question.

This is particularly relevant in Part 1 of the Speaking test, where the examiner asks you questions about familiar topics such as work, studies, hobbies, and interests. It’s important to listen carefully to the questions and ask for clarification if needed, but remember that the examiner will repeat the question only once before proceeding to the next one.
