Section 3 lasts for 4 - 5 minutes at the end of which the examiner will tell you it is the end of the speaking test. You will be shown out of the interview room. Don't try to start a conversation with the examiner as he is not allowed to discuss anything with you - especially if it concerns how you did in the test.
 
Now it's time to relax but do take a minute to make some "Post IELTS Test Notes" as we suggested in the IELTS Tips page. How did the interview go? As well as expected? Make a note of any problems you had. Also, were there any problems with the way the test was conducted? Perhaps there was a lot of noise outside which was distracting. Make a note of these things. One thing to remember is that the interview was recorded so if you have any complaints the tape is available as confirmation. If you have any complaints that won't have recorded on the tape, be sure to report them immediately and in writing.
 
Using these IELTS tips will help you get the most out of the IELTS Speaking interview.
