IELTS is the applicant’s entry pass to enter the country in which they serve, and it becomes impossible for the individual to obtain permission and obtain a visa without the minimum required band. The general training test IELTS scores are based on the ‘band’ scheme, which gives each paper a scoring of between 0 and 9 in half-point increments. The total score for the band is the mean, rounded up or down to the next half point of all four paper scores. The band scores in listening and reading are derived from the number of correct answers that IELTS calls “raw scores.”

1. Attend Difficult Questions at the End
Many candidates don’t read the whole paper first, instead, they start with the first question. But a strategic way to attend the paper is to read the whole paper and decide which questions are easy for you and which ones are difficult. Once you have done this part choose the easy and moderate questions first. And at the end, you can take up difficult questions as time allows you to. This way there is less scope of you making the mistake of leaving a question that you might have done correctly.
2. Read the Tasks given Carefully
The exam maker is really smart. What they do is they leave some gap in the question or they mould a question in a twisted way which makes you follow the wrong direction resulting in getting zero marks for you.
For example, if you are given a true/false/not given question then if you choose “Right,” the entire phrase must be correct. Some challenging questions are not valid in every single detail. Some may be true while others are wrong. The response would be “wrong” in such situations.
3. DoYou Know How to Scan?
You would want to understand what a text says in any paragraph. The principal idea of each paragraph is reflected in the subject phrase. You do not have time to read all the specifics and this is all right because that is what the IELTS examination is assessing you for. The details in the subject phrase are what you really need to understand in each paragraph.
