Will the second part of IELTS oral English be penalized for overtime?

Many students have encountered this situation in the second part of IELTS oral English: they felt that they had been told by the examiner that the time was up shortly after they said it, so they went directly to the third part. Will the second part of oral English be penalized for overtime?

The answer is no. During the whole process of the IELTS speaking test, no points will be deducted if the examinee interrupts for time reasons.

But then again, people may be deducted points due to overtime. Specifically, there are the following two situations. First, the speaking speed is too slow, so Part 2 only said four or five sentences after two minutes. This will directly affect everyone's score on fluency and coherence. Second, although the speed of speaking is not slow, because there is no time for practice at ordinary times, we are still preparing the story when the time comes, and we have not entered the theme at all. In this way, the examiner will think that he/she cannot understand the problem, which will also lead to the deduction of points.

However, if everyone has basically finished telling the whole story when the examiner calls a halt, and only one or half sentence is left to end, then they will never be given low marks.
