Why Am I Fail to Score Well in IELTS?

[Meccademia Education Institute]

IELTS is one of the most prestigious tests in the world to evaluate the accuracy of English to those residing in non-English speaking nations. Those who score higher at IELTS become eligible to study or stay in an English speaking country. Countries like the USA, Australia and New Zealand have set a standard score for IELTS. The exam scores are ranging from 0 to 9. According to the British Council, if you score 9, you are an expert in English. If the score is 8, you are good at English. So, the higher your score the better chance you will get. Below are some top reasons why people fail to score in IELTS.

Spelling Errors

It is the most common error that affects your IELTS score greatly. You can avoid spelling errors if you review your test paper. Learn how to manage time and correct spelling errors. Proofread is necessary. While you are in flow to write something, spelling error is common. In English, thousands of words spell the same but have different spelling and meaning such as reap and rip. Be careful about your spelling errors.

Poor Vocabulary

What do you understand when it is said to make your vocabulary power stronger? It is all about collecting new words and using them appropriately. Poor vocabulary will never let you write and speak correctly and effectively. Like Rome cannot build in a day, your vocab power cannot implement in a day. Make a habit to remember at least 5 new words with their meaning every day. Start as early as you can.

Mispronunciation

Non-native English speakers often make mistake in the pronunciation of English. The English speaking test for IELTS also evaluates your pronunciation skills. Your accent will not lose you any points, but the way you pronounce English words would play a significant role in your IELTS score band. For example, if you going to speak "Bear" it is pronounced "beuh" instead of "ber". Here the character "R" is silent.

Don't Leave Blank a Question

While giving an IELTS test, make sure you are not leaving any question behind. Try to solve each one. In case, you are not sure about the answer but have some ideas about it, write those ideas. Who knows, your guess goes correct. Your partial idea about a question can fetch you at least  0.1 which could be better than getting nothing for the question.

Poor Time Management

It is one of the most common IELTS mistakes that can keep you behind in the race of scoring well for the test. Time management is the success sutra of IELTS. Time management needs practice and preparation for the test effectively. IELTS coaching in Dubai teaches candidates how to effectively manage time. Coaching institutions organize tests to evaluate the question-solving skills of candidates. According to them, the best practice is to pick up short questions first and then long. Don't spend much time in answering one question because you would get little time for the next. So, it is important to analyze how much time is needed to put on each question. Understand the value of time. Utilize it smartly so that you get enough time to proofread also.
