How your IELTS Reading and Listening is scored ? Raw Score to Band Score

Time has now added up new opportunities, new challenges, and new experiences. We wish you to get more in the upcoming year to grow the better in you and your life. Happy New Year 2076 !!

How is your IELTS speaking marked ?

The official organizations often provide us with important information, and one of the most important pieces of information is the IELTS band descriptors for SPEAKING and WRITING modules. You can find the IELTS assessment criteria and band descriptors on this post.

One of the most important pieces of information available is the IELTS band descriptors for the he Speaking and Writing sections of the test. I would suggest that you become familiar with these as they will help you get ready for your test. This post gives an overview and tries to explain of the Speaking band descriptors.

Q.Speaking band descriptors! What are those?

In your IELTS speaking examination you are not only tested how well you can speak English but also looks further into how well you meet the allocated criteria. These criteria are the band descriptors that the examiner considers when giving you the marks.

In simple words the band descriptors for the Speaking test are broken into four different categories for the IELTS test:
• Fluency and coherence
• Lexical resource
• Grammatical range and accuracy
• Pronunciation

Q.How are the descriptors used?
Your IELTS Speaking examiner will mark you on the bases of these descriptors to evaluate your speaking skills. Every descriptor is carefully considered, and then you are assigned a band score for each one. The band scores range from 0 (the lowest) to 9 (the highest).

Q.What do the descriptors mean?

Let’s have a closer look at what each of the band descriptors really means and how your IELTS speaking will be evaluated using them.

1. Fluency and coherence

Fluency - Your examiner will look at your fluency
– how much you speak,
– how your words, ideas and thoughts flow together
– how much you hesitate, self-correct and repeat yourself.

Speaking naturally – Your examiner will also look how natural you sound when speaking. There are multiple ways to sound natural it includes
– Use of your vocabulary
– How your words are connected - consider how to use connecting words – these words connect and organize your ideas, help you move to another point, etc.
Some examples of connecting words include:
First, Second…
Next…
Then…
Another thing…
Well, I believe…

2. Lexical resource

Your words – Your examiner will also consider the kinds of words you use, whether they help make your ideas clear, and whether the words are understandable, appropriate and relevant to the topic.

Paraphrasing, idiomatic language and less common language – The use of paraphrasing, idiomatic and less common words are all important at higher levels (Band 7 and up). Words of caution: practice to understand the proper use and form.

3. Grammatical range and accuracy

Sentence structure and variation – When speaking, think about the proper use of sentences - their structure, as well as using a mix of simple and complex structures.

Errors – It is also important to try to limit the number of grammatical errors in your speaking. For higher band scores, there must be a good number of error-free sentences in your speaking.

4. Pronunciation

How well you are understood - Your examiner will be listening for how easy it is to understand you, and how clearly (and correctly) you pronounce words. Do not mistake this and try changing your accent to sound more like a native English speaker. The important part here is that you must pronounce words clearly and correctly.

Final words of advice

When preparing for your IELTS test keep in mind that, as outlined above, there are many things your IELTS examiner will be listening for. Become familiar to the descriptors, so you have a good idea what your IELTS examiner will be listening for.

SPEAKING : HOW TO IMPROVE

It is often said that PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT, but how can you practice correctly, how to level up your speaking? It is even more difficult as you are living in a developing country like Nepal where we rarely use English outside our school premises.
The answer would be couple of techniques, and I have accumulated a few of those ideas here.
1. SEARCH FOR A SPEAKING PARTNER

Practice is obviously very significant for learning any language, and in order to improve you need to speak the language you want to improve every day. Nonetheless, if you cannot get anyone to speak with you, you can talk yourself aloud. While it is a good idea but it won't be particularly helpful, as you will be reiterate things without any comments or criticism.
On the other hand, a good speaking partner will be able to help you by maintaining a natural conversation that continually challenges you. They can also be able to give you some sort of feedback, too.

You can find a speaking partner in your English class, among your friends, or even online. If you want a speaking partner then do comment below.

2. PRACTICE AT HOME

Above, I mentioned that it can be not as fruitful as expected to practice alone. While it can be true, there are some ways you can practice by yourself to get real value out of it.
One of the ways can be speaking out loud in front of a mirror. Though you will be practicing alone it will give you an impression of speaking with someone. On top of that, recording your answers on your cell phone and listening to it after can provide you with insights about the mistakes you have made while speaking.

3. BOOK AN IELTS PRACTICE SPEAKING TEST

If you follow the advice given above, you should be able to get lots of valuable speaking practice. This will help you better your English speaking with each passing day.
However, it can be difficult to know what you are doing wrong. For example, let’s say you struggle with a particular part of pronunciation. How do you know what you are doing wrong? A speaking partner may not be able to tell you, and you will be unlikely to find out by practicing alone.
What you need is a practice speaking test. This will help you to find out your strengths and weaknesses. Once you know these, you can begin to improve much faster!
Doing a regular IELTS exam will help you to know your overall speaking score. For example, maybe you get a band 6. But a practice speaking test will let you know exactly what’s right and wrong.
Therefore, a mock test will end with you being given a report that lets you know your performance for each of the criteria, and the teacher can give you specific advice on how to improve.
We are providing students with free mock test if they book IELTS through us. If you want to know more leave a comment or you may direct message us.

WHY IS MY IELTS WRITING SCORE LOW COMPARED TO OTHER MODULES?

A complaint that I often hear: “Why is my IELTS Writing score so low?” Many IELTS candidates sit the exam and perform well in reading, listening, and speaking, but get comparatively low score for writing.
Most feel frustrated. They think, “Why did this happen?!?!” and their friends suggests them that the IELTS appeal the result because they have made a mistake as the exam result is unfair.
I usually get asked such questions well I cannot simply say: “Maybe your writing just isn’t that good.”

WHY IS YOUR WRITING SKILL POOR THAN SPEAKING, READING AND LISTENING SKILLS?

You have studied for years in English medium and can convey your thoughts conveniently with an ease. I know you do not want to hear that you are poor in it. And you attempt another test.
Another low writing mark
Yet there is a good reason why most candidates score lower in writing than any other part of the IELTS exam: it is the most difficult.
I have many native English speaker friends who I chat often and I have been working as an ESL tutor for many years. I have, in fact, been writing since I was a child, though not a formal and publishing ready ones. All this has given me a keen eye for writing, and so when I look around at my friends’ messages, emails and Facebook posts, I see a lot of mistakes.
You see, writing is hard. Even native speakers make mistakes in punctuation, spelling, and grammar. Everyone does it all the time.
For the IELTS writing exam, there are certain criteria you must fulfill in order to get a good band score. To put it simply, you must:
• have good grammar
• make few spelling mistakes
• vary your language
• have a logical structure
• be consistent in your ideas
You don’t need to be a professional writer in order to do these things. You just need to be competent with language.

WHY IS MY WRITING SCORE LOWER THAN MY SPEAKING SCORE?
It seems logical that someone would have similar scores for speaking and writing. After all, that same brain is producing language on similar topics.
However, students almost always get a higher score in speaking. Why is that?
There are a few reasons. Here, I shall try to explain them carefully:

THERE IS MORE TO DO IN WRITING
It may sound strange but in writing, there is just MORE that you have to do. You have to spell words and punctuate sentences, for a start. Usually when we learn a language, we have the sentence in our head. It is easier to bring it out through our mouth than our hand.
Spelling is difficult. This is especially true for us now as we spend a lot of time listening and very little time reading. There are some commonly misspelled words that trip us up, like those ending in “-ce” or “-se” and words that gain or drop a letter when changing form: “argue” -> “argument”.
Punctuation is something that many really struggle with, too. You don’t need to punctuate your essay perfectly to get a band 7, though. You just need to know the basic rules of punctuation.
In speaking, you don’t think about spelling or punctuation. You also don’t think about structure, necessarily. (Although for part two and three, you should be logical in how you order your answer.) Being able to put your ideas into paragraphs is essential for IELTS writing success.

PRACTICING WRITING MISTAKES IS HARDER
When you are learning a new language, you need to practice. In English, we always say,
Practice makes perfect
However, in writing this is not always true. If you practice writing IELTS essays over and over, you might not improve at all. Without feedback, you will only get quicker at writing.
Practice makes us better at something through repetition. If you are making mistakes, you will simply embed those mistakes deeper, and it is harder to fix them later.
When we are speaking English, we can see and hear whether our speech elicits the desired response.
Sitting alone at home, writing an essay, it is impossible to know whether or not you are actually making progress. You need someone to correct your essay for you. You need an expert to give you feedback, or else you will simply make the same mistakes again and again.
Thankfully, We are offering a writing correction service for IELTS candidates who enroll with us. I will mark your essay (general or target score by showing you what you are doing right and what you are doing wrong). You can direct message me if you want to improve your writing.

SOME COMMON PROBLEMS IN WRITING FOR IELTS
I have already mentioned spelling and punctuation because these are the biggest issues that IELTS candidates face. However, there are other problems that perhaps hold you back in writing.
Timing is one issue. When it comes to the IELTS writing exam, students must write quickly to get the necessary word count in the allotted time. This is a challenge, and it can cause you to make mistakes.
Memorized answers are another big issue. Often, students will use same IELTS phrases that they learn in IELTS training centers. Examiners hate these phrases and you will be penalized for using them.
Misreading the question is also quite a problem. Sometimes you see a question that relates to education and you begin writing. However, did you actually answer the question? Make sure to analyze the question fully before you start writing.

FINALLY…
The IELTS writing exam is by some measures the most difficult part of the exam. It is hard to prepare for and it can really seem unfair. But please don’t get discouraged. You can work on your writing skills and improve to a huge extent if you practice in the right ways

IELTS Reading: A quick fix?

I often receive emails or Facebook messages from IELTS test takers saying ‘How can I improve my reading?’ or ‘I am poor at reading.’ The problem is not that these candidates need to improve their reading, but that that they need to do it quickly. You may be one of them.

The explanation
Imagine that you want to improve your physical fitness. We all understand that you can’t achieve this in days: it takes months — in the case of long distance runners, it takes years. Reading is the same.

The foundations of reading are vocabulary and grammar. Improving your vocabulary takes a lot of effort. You need to identify words to learn, memorise them, understand how they are used in a sentence, and you need to learn how to use them accurately. That takes time and hard work. Similarly, grammar needs to be studied for years. What is the difference between ‘He stole the watch’ and ‘The watch was stolen’? Do you know? Can you explain it? Do you know why a writer might choose to use one rather than the other? You need to see a grammar structure many times in many different contexts to truly understand it.

The solution
So, if you only have a month before your IELTS test, is the situation hopeless? No. There are a number of things you can do which will help you, even in the short term. In this blog post we will focus on vocabulary.

Here are some suggestions.

It is reasonable to expect to learn 10 new words a day. Over a month, that means 300 new words — and that can make a difference, especially if you choose the new words intelligently.
To do this, think about the kind of topics that typically appear in an IELTS Reading test. In IELTS Academic, they are generally topics that are of interest to an educated Western audience: the environment, language and communication, sport and leisure, health, welfare and social support, science and technology, and so on. It is relatively easy to find articles on these topics online on news sites written for an educated Western audience. Search for the relevant sections in The Guardian (UK), The Age (Australia) and the New York Times (US). These articles will be written in a similar style to your IELTS Reading passages, and this will help you become familiar with the genre and its grammar and sentence structures.
General Training has a wider variety of text types. According to the IELTS: Information for candidates booklet (which you can find here), ‘Texts are authentic and are taken from notices, advertisements,company handbooks, official documents, books, magazines
and newspapers.’ If you are living in an English-speaking country, pick up and read magazines in the doctor’s waiting room, take flyers and free booklets from the library and study them, read notices on the wall of the local school. If you are not living in an English-speaking country, it’s more difficult. Probably the best solution is to subscribe to STUDY IELTS NEPAL.
In either case (Academic or General Training), print out the texts, and underline words you don’t understand. Look them up in the dictionary, and if they seem useful (i.e. not highly technical or specialist), copy them into your vocab notebook to learn.
Search for vocab learning apps or websites, such as memrise. These really can help — especially if they systematically repeat the words you are learning.
If you really want to improve your reading, you need to understand that it will take hard work and dedication. Target reading at least one target text every day and learning at least 10 words. Be disciplined: if you stick to your plan, it really will make a difference.
