You won't find a particular method for Parts 2 and 3 to get band 8 speaking. It's not as simple as that.
Yes there are tips for those parts of the test (you'll find them on this site if you look through the lessons) but there isn't anything that would, for example, suddenly push someone who is a band 6 level speaking up to an 8.
Of course if you are a high level already, so around a 7.5, it's possible some tips could push you up to an 8.
I have no idea what your current level is so it's too difficult to advise you what the best thing to do is.
But if you are just an intermediate speaker of English, say around the 5.5 / 6 level, and you need 8 then you have a lot to do.
You need to just have lessons / practice speaking to improve your English without worrying too much about the test itself as it will be a long time before you are up to the 8 level.
Very few IELTS candidates score an overall 8.0 in the IELTS test. It means that in both IELTS listening and IELTS reading you score at least 36 correct answers out of 40 and in speaking and writing your English is practically error-free.
In order to get an 8 band score in listening and reading you need to get 89% of the marks. Since IELTS reading and listening have 40 questions each, in order to get band 8 you have to at least answer 36 questions of each.
Because there is not a separate score for Speaking Part 2, there's no exact number of points that you lose if you cannot fill the two minutes. However, having said that, it might be difficult to get a 7 or higher for Fluency if you can't keep talking.
IELTS speaking score in IELTS section is credited based on 4 criterias; fluency and coherence, lexical resource, grammatical range and accuracy, and pronunciation. The IELTS speaking band score is calculated by deriving at an arithmetic mean of all the mentioned skills of candidates.
Your Speaking results are given as band scores which range from a band 0 to a band 9. Each whole and half band score corresponds to a level of English-language competence. To find out more about the assessment criteria used by IELTS examiners, search online for the IELTS Speaking public band descriptors.
If your organisation requires an IELTS score of 5.5–6.5, this is equivalent to CEFR level B2. IELTS 7–8 correspond to CEFR level C1, which is the most widely accepted level for admission to universities in English-speaking countries.
The IELTS speaking test is a face-to-face interview with one examiner consisting of 3 parts and lasts 11-14 minutes. The test is recorded, but the examiner assesses your performance during the test and decides on your band score as soon as the test has finished.
Examiner assesses your speaking proficiency based on four factors: Fluency and coherence, Lexical resource, Grammatical Range and accuracy and pronunciation. Examiner gives you a band score from 0 to 9 based on your performance in all three sections of the IELTS Speaking test.
Expanding your vocabulary is crucial for achieving an IELTS Speaking band 9 score. To do so, you can read extensively in English, listen to podcasts or audio materials, and make use of vocabulary-building resources such as flashcards or word lists.
