No. You do not need a British accent to score well on IELTS Speaking test. However, make sure that your speech has clarity and is organic. An examiner can easily spot a made-up accent.

Having a strong vocabulary definitely helps. However, you should not use tough words unnecessarily. Examiner should not feel as if you have memorized those words. Your speech must be coherent and your ideas must be clear.
