Hi all, does anyone know who decides the band score for IELTS Speaking? As per my understanding, it is the person who is taking the speaking test. The reason I am asking this question is because, last week I had speaking test and lady who was taking this test was recording all the conversation. If she is the one who will decide the band score, why is she recording the conversation? Is it like, she will listen that over and over then decide the band or will send to someone who will decide the band?
