It is not the matter that english is not the first language, because no one can think and speak about a pop up topic in 20 seconds..
If you get 4 points for each questions, you will get 30 on the speaking section. For each question, you will get 0-4 points and this is converted to 30 point scale. In order to get 26, you need 2 good level (3.5 to 4.0) and 4 fair level (2.5 to 3.0) and you will get 26 on speaking. If you get 6 fair scores, the maxium scale score is 24.

No one in NABP check what is this test, how it is conducted, how it is scored. They beleive ETS because they both are business partners and we are victims. So pray GOD and practice....All the best. I am also in the same boat.....Bye

I think the Listening is 18 not 21, otherwise other sections seems ok.
