🌜🌞HOW WORDS ARE COUNTED IN IELTS🌛🌞

Example: NOT MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER

1️⃣Numbers, dates and time are counted as words in writing.

For example

30,000 one word

55 = one word

9.30am one word.

12.06.2016= one word.

In listening, 30,000 is counted as one number and 9.30AM is also counted as one number.

2️⃣Dates written as both words and numbers are counted in this way: 12th July one number and one word. SC

3️⃣Symbols with numbers are not counted. For example, 55% = one number (the symbol "%" is not counted as a word). However, if you write "55 percent" it is counted as one word and one number. TS

4️⃣ Small words such as "a" or "an" are counted as one word. All prepositions, such as "in" or "at" are

also counted. All words are counted.

5️⃣ Hyphenated words like "up-to-date" are counted as one word.

6️⃣ Compound nouns which are written as one word are also counted as one word. For example, blackboard one word

7️⃣ Compound nouns which are written as two separate words, are counted as two words. For example, university bookshop = two words.

8️⃣ All words are counted, including words in brackets. For example in IELTS writing. "The majority of energy was generated by electricity (55%).". This sentence is counted as 9 words. The number in brackets is counted.

📌 Be careful in IELTS Listening, Reading and Writing Test. 📌
