Hello Mandeep!

I'm not familiar with the situation in India. Is it possible to go to a foreign doctor to get a certificate? Perhaps you could check with the BC/IDP to see what they say.

I don't actually know what happens to the speaking scores for candidates with stammers. We have procedures for examiners when dealing with this situation, but these do not affect the score.

All the best,
David
