One section in IELTS that may be really challenging is the Writing Section. In the previous test we have learned what criteria have to be met when doing the Writing Section. Today, we are going to learn how to meet those criteria and get a high marks simply by using basic template for writing. For the Writing Section scoring criteria, go to this link Criteria of IELTS Writing Section What To Do In Writing Task 1 In Writing Task 1, test takers should explain a graph, chart, or  picture and write 150 words in 20 minutes. The explanation has to cover an overview, key features, and other relevant information. There are several samples of layout for Writing Task 1, and of course one may prefer to use certain layout to another. But, we will only focus on the basic layout that is, as far as I concern, most commonly used. The layout itself is presented by some material books and I believe I see it some time on the internet. There may be some modifications necessary, but keep it for later. ...

Why Score Prediction Is Important? We have discussed a way of calculating band score of IELTS Speaking. It may not be highly accurate, but that certainly gives you and idea of what has been good and what needs to be improved. Doing all exercise is yet to be enough if you still have no idea how good is your English. Monitoring your progress is quite important when you take IELTS, especially if this is your first attempt. IELTS Is A Process, Enjoy The Process For any section in IELTS, Listening, Reading, Speaking or Writing, you may start small by doing some easy-to-do exercise as well as reading the material book. This is good, it is better than never start studying at all, right?

You are moving on from beginner-intermediate level C1 to advanced level C2. You got a feeling that...

IELTS GRADING SYSTEM For those who are having exercise with IELTS, it is definitely important to know the score, although it is just a rough prediction. Grading IELTS Listening and Reading Section is not actually difficult since we have the score table. We just need to count the wrong answers (counting the wrong answers is easier because I assume you have more correct answers), and see what band score you get by having that "x number" of correct answers. In contrary, assessing Speaking can be quite challenging especially if you are not a native speaker (me neither, so cheers! 😁 ) or if you are not an official IELTS assessor. I have been looking for the information about how IELTS speaking is scored here and there, and finally formulate a simple way to predict the score. Although, again, it is just a rough estimation. It is believed that there are four main criteria graded in IELTS Speaking, namely the: Fluency and Coherence How fluent is your speech and how you arrange your ...

WHAT IS WRONG WITH IELTS READING? I have done almost all Reading exercises in Cambridge IELTS, and once in a while, I stumble upon extremely difficult Reading Passage. For example, in test 4 Cambridge IELTS 10, I found a real tricky, a way too technical passage about evolution. Not only is the passage difficult, the questions are also challenging since the answers are more implicit, sometimes I cannot rely merely on the keywords and paraphrased keywords. I have to grab the whole idea and translate the sentence to check whether it makes sense or not. This rarely happens, since the strategy I have previously explained is more than enough to finish IELTS Reading. In most cases, I always spend 40 minutes to answer questions from number 1 until 40 only by strategy, and then spend the last 20 minutes to do extensive reading to re-check the answers. "In IELTS test, do not be carried out by the passage. Use the strategy first and do the extensive reading later" Remember: We better do...
