How IELTS Listening answers are scored
A human examiner marks your answers. You get one point for each correct answer,
giving you a ‘raw score’ out of 40. This is converted into a ‘band score’ from 0 to 9. For
example, you need 30 correct answers to get a band score of 7.0.

Five key exam techniques for IELTS Listening

1. Predict answers before you listen. This helps you to identify the type of information
required and leads to ‘targeted listening’.
2. Identify parallel meaning. Be ready to make the connection between what the
speaker says and what the question asks.
3. Check grammar carefully. In sentence completion tasks, you may need to change
the speaker’s words to make them fit the question grammatically.
4. Practice using different skills at the same time. You will need to use reading,
listening and writing skills at the same time during the listening section of IELTS.
5. Improve your spelling. Your answer may be marked incorrect if not spelt correctly.

How IELTS Reading answers are scored

A human examiner marks your answers. You get one point for each correct answer,
giving you a ‘raw score’ out of 40. This is converted into a ‘band score’ from 0 to 9. For
example, you need 30 correct answers to get a band score of 7.0.

Five exam techniques for IELTS Reading

1. Skim-read quickly. Try to find the main idea of each passage and of each
paragraph. Don’t read all the supporting details. Ignore any unfamiliar words at this
stage.
2. Identify key words. Scan the passage and the questions for words you know will be
in the passage such as names of people, names of places, and dates.
3. Identify paraphrase. Look for similar meaning between what the passage says and
what the question asks.
4. Manage time. Some questions will be extremely difficult so you should concentrate
first on the questions that are easiest for you to answer. Take no more than 60 seconds
to consider your answer before moving on to the next question.
5. Expand your vocabulary. You will find the academic module of IELTS Reading
much easier if you expand your academic vocabulary. The academic word list is a
great place to start.

How IELTS Writing answers are scored

Understanding the IELTS Writing scoring criteria for both Task 1 and Task 2 is critical to
performing well in the IELTS Writing module. The examiner awards a score of 0 to 9
based on four criteria:
Task Achievement or Response: Do you answer the question fully: do you
write enough words, cover the main points, and have a clear position?
Coherence and Cohesion: Do you organise your ideas into paragraphs and
connect them with linking words?
Lexical Resource: Do you make good use of vocabulary: is it relevant to the
topic and appropriate to academic writing?
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Do you make good use of grammar and
punctuation: do you attempt complex sentences and avoid too many mistakes?
Each of these four criteria is worth 25% of your IELTS Writing score.

Five exam techniques for IELTS Writing

1. Always make a paragraph plan before writing. In Task 1, each paragraph should
deal with one aspect of the data. In Task 2, each paragraph should contain one main
idea.
2. Avoid repeating the same words too many times. Paraphrase the questions and
vary vocabulary as much as possible in both IELTS writing tasks.
3. In Task 1, do not attempt to explain or present reasons for the data. You should
only describe what it shows.
4. In Task 2, remember that you can write about other people’s ideas as
well. Practice using reporting verbs and passive structures to give your writing a more
academic style.
5. Mistakes are much more obvious in writing than in speaking. You should be
continuously working to improve your English grammar while preparing for IELTS.
How IELTS Speaking answers are scored
To get a good score in IELTS Speaking, it certainly helps to understand the scoring
criteria. The examiner uses four criteria in IELTS Speaking, and each is worth 25% of
your score:
Fluency and Coherence: Are you able to keep talking without too much
hesitation or repetition?
Lexical Resource: Are you able to use a wide range of vocabulary and show
some awareness of collocation?
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Are you able to use a variety of
grammatical forms, including a mix of simple and complex sentences?
Pronunciation: Are you able to pronounce words correctly and use speaking
techniques such as intonation and contractions?
When you practice IELTS Speaking with a teacher or partner, it helps if they can give
feedback based on these scoring criteria. If you don’t know an IELTS teacher, I tell you
below how you can find one on Skype.

Five exam techniques for IELTS Speaking

1. Memorise some checking questions. Be ready to use these when you don’t
understand the examiner’s question. Examples include: I didn’t catch that, sorry; Are
you asking… ; I’m not sure what you mean exactly.
2. Avoid ‘parroting’ (repeating back) the words in the question. Always attempt to
rephrase in your answer or use a substitution such as ‘Yes, I do.’
3. Avoid silence or hesitation. Being silent is worse than making mistakes! Memorise
some ‘filler expressions’ for use when you can’t come up with any ideas. Examples:
That’s an interesting question; Let me think; What I want to say is…
4. In Part 2, try to keep talking for two minutes. This is more important than
answering all parts of the question. The question prompts on the card are only there to
help you, not direct you.
5. In Part 3, try comparing different ideas and opinions. This should help you to
keep talking even when you don’t have any strong views of your own.
