Top 10 Preparation Tips for Scoring 8 Band and More in IELTS

Students who want to pursue under or post-graduation in foreign universities and professionals who are keen on migrating abroad, have to take the IELTS exam, which examines a candidate’s English listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills. The two IELTS modules are Academic, which is for the would-be under and post-graduates, and General Training, which is for the overseas professionals who need a work or residence permit to migrate abroad. IELTS scores range between 0 and 9.

Although every candidate is unique and requires a different band score to fulfill his/her objective, a band score of eight or more is desirable for most.

Now, you can set your sights on securing a band score of eight in IELTS. But how do you actually secure such a lofty score?

This article provides you the top 10 preparation tips for the desired success.

Preparation Tips for Scoring 8 Band or More in IELTS

Following are the 10 most effective tips for scoring high:

1. Make reading newspapers and listening to news a part of your everyday routine, to improve your vocabulary, learn to frame proper, concise sentences while writing and speaking, and basically keep yourself abreast with the happenings around the world.
2. In addition to reading newspapers and listening to news, podcasts can also be really helpful in honing your listening skill, as far as the IELTS test is concerned.
3. Learn to extemporize proficiently. You must learn extemporizing because in the second part in the speaking skill, you will be given a topic to speak on for a few minutes. Here, the focus has to be on clear pronunciation.
4. Likewise, practice writing 200 or 300-word essays on random topics, to not only acquaint yourself with writing but also be able to write on any topic you get.
5. Also a part of your IELTS preparation has to be learning grammar and becoming familiar with the same. In at least three (listening, speaking and writing) of the four sections in IELTS, your grammar will determine the score you accrue.
6. You should also strive to improve your English vocabulary, although the focus need not entirely be on learning new terms alone. Rather, the focus should ideally be on the way a certain term has been used instead of another word that probably carries a similar meaning.
7. While practicing your writing and speaking skills, in particular, try to be on point always; nothing too elaborate and nothing short of what is required either.
8. Prioritize getting your basics right as well. You do not want your preparations for conquering the bigger challenges prove profligate because of a spelling error. So, guard against making elementary errors!
9. Write multiple mock tests in the lead-up to the exam. Your preparation schedule should ideally have a couple of days of preparation followed by a mock test in some capacity. For example, you can mock test yourself only in the writing and listening sections on one day, and focus on the remaining sections the next day.
10. Give yourself ample time to relax and enjoy yourself. This is an integral part of preparing for any challenging exam and it’s no different for IELTS as well.
