So, i did part 1 of the speaking test perfectly.
part 2: i was lost for 15 seconds but after that i was very fluent. Examiner stopped me before the completion of 2 minutes. I repeated one word three times that is procrastinate” there are no synonyms of this word that i know of.
part 3: i asked examiner to repeat one of the questions.
Based on 6.5 bands description “ Test takers at this band can typically speak at length, although they are sometimes less clear or fluent because of repetition, self-correction, or hesitation to search for words or grammar. Speaking is generally well-organised, and ideas are generally well linked, but with some errors. They have enough vocabulary to discuss topics clearly and at length, although there are often errors, and they can usually paraphrase well. They can use simple and complex grammar structures but with limited range. There may be frequent grammar errors, particularly in more complex structures, but language is usually easy to understand. Pronunciation can be clear and effective, but there may be problems. They are usually easy to understand, although words may be unclear at times”
This does not match with what i did in the test. I expect at least 7 bands.

In the same center as my 1st attempt but with another examiner. My performance was even better than the previous times. No hesitations and stress.. Fluent with a natural accent. Examiner was a Canadian lady. She didn't remove her mask and also didn't let me do so while in other attempts examiners were not wearing masks and nor me. In part 3 I just asked her one time to repeat a long and complicated question as I couldn't see her mouth. I don't think asking for repeat would be an issue... My fluency was high enough that she almost stopped my answers for every question. I see no obvious reason for such a low score in Speaking.
