It depends. To accurately determine your current IELTS Speaking level, you need a direct evaluation through a mock test with an experienced instructor. This assessment focuses on four main criteria: fluency and coherence, vocabulary (lexical resource), grammar, and pronunciation.

To improve:
- Practice speaking at length without hesitation and use a range of connectives.
- Expand your vocabulary and use less common words accurately.
- Use complex sentence structures and minimize grammatical errors.
- Listen to native speakers, mimic pronunciation, and record yourself for feedback.
