Practice is the key to getting a good score in your IELTS exam. We recommend understanding the exam format properly once and then giving a mock exam to understand where you are. Once you do that, keep practising till you reach your goal in at least 2-3 mock exams.
Usually intermittent users of English require more time to practise than expert users.
We at CATKing offer personalised progress charts when you sign up for our IELTS coaching course. You can use these charts to identify your areas for improvement and work on them.
Your goal will be dependent on your current level of proficiency in the English Language and your minimum score requirement. However, we would recommend aiming for at least a 7-7.5 in each module to be eligible for more colleges, workplaces and countries.
You will receive an individual band (range 1-9) score for each module on the test.
Each question in the listening and reading session carries 1 mark.
Your score will be calculated on a total of 40 marks for both these sections and then converted to band score.
The writing and speaking tests have a predetermined rubric as well.
Your overall score is calculated by averaging the four individual scores and rounding it off in half or whole bands .
