Stuttering and Stammering in IELTS Speaking
Good morning all,
Please I need some clarification about some mistakes i made during my speaking test on 4th of December.
There was this section I was asked to talk about:
What can be done to make people develop interest in art.
And I found myself stuck with pronunciation of a particular word 'subsidising'. I kept say 'subsi...subsi...susiding' eventually the examiner coughed, stopped the tape and repeated the question but the same mistake occurred.
Now I am afraid this might affect my score badly. Other sections of the test went well but I was depressed all through the test.
Stammering in IELTS Speaking

Hello,
I suffer stammering.
I have long hard time getting sounds out. Should I apply normally and the speaking examiner will consider. Or should I apply for extra time, but it’s a bit far specific dates. Thanks
Stammering Issue in IELTS Speaking

Hi,
My kid suffers stammering, so we got a medical proof report and made sure the examiner was aware of it. However he scored 3.5 in speaking although he is brilliant in English.
I assume she did give him extra time, but while still deducting grades over his stammering symptoms. He is so sad, he knows he’s been treated unfairly. His stammering is just beyond him.
