THE EXAMINER MUST AGREE WITH YOU

Well, we all are individuals. While answering, it is possible that the examiner does not agree with your opinion, but this does not mean that they will cut your marks. The examiner could personally disagree with every opinion you have, and you can still get a band score of 9. You are being judged on your way of speaking and not on whether you are able to convince examiner. So, don’t worry about the examiner’s opinions or feelings

SOME TESTING CENTRES ARE EASY

IELTS make sure that the test takes place in a fair environment. All testing centres have the same standards and mark you with the same criteria. Every examiner undergoes strict training, and they know that their work gets checked. So, do not worry about the place and work hard on improving your English

LEARNING HIGH VOCABULARY WORDS WILL GET ME BAND 9

Vocabulary is an integral part of IELTS, and one inevitably gets good marks for using high-end vocabulary words. But this does not mean that you will go on and put complex words unnecessarily to impress the examiner. If you do this, it looks unnatural, and your coherence and cohesion suffer. You obviously need to display a wide range of vocabulary, but you should do this appropriately.

There are many other myths like you can’t ask the examiner in the speaking section to repeat the question, or you need to have a particular accent. So, stop thinking about these myths and start working truly on your dreams and score high in IELTS.
