Today, how many people's grades of four or six have been freshly released? Everyone is welcome to share your results in the message area and see how many people are at the same level as you!
After the four or six grades come out, many students will have to start preparing for the IELTS test ~ After all, compared with the four or six levels that college students can pass, the IELTS score can not only be used when applying for study abroad later, but also have an IELTS score after graduation to find a job.
However, not surprisingly, many students should be directly naked or semi-naked (only brushed one or two sets of questions on the exam) level four or six, with their own "strong" foundation in high school low score drifted through ~ ~
In this case, how long does it take to get an IELTS score of 7?
The following sister will take you step by step to understand how far you are from 7 points, and how you should start preparing for the exam.
Step 1: Know your current level
This is actually a discussion of the score situation, first of all, you need to understand what level you are currently at.
You can first "take a look" at the comparison table between the four or six levels and the IELTS score. But this comparison table can only be briefly understood, does not mean that you are currently this score segment ↓↓
Level 46 score and IELTS score comparison table
Level 4 vs IELTS
(1) If the fourth level reaches about 450 points, IELTS can basically reach 5.0 points;
(2) If the fourth level reaches 540 points or more, the IELTS can basically reach 6.0 points;
(3) If the fourth level reaches 580 points or more, IELTS can basically reach 6.5 points;
(4) If the fourth level reaches more than 600 points, IELTS can basically reach 7.0 points.
Level 6 vs IELTS
(1) If the sixth level reaches about 500 points, IELTS can basically reach 5.5-6 points
(2) If the sixth level reaches about 550 points, the IELTS can basically reach 6.5-7 points
(3) If the sixth level reaches about 600 to 650 points, IELTS can basically reach 7-7.5 points.
According to the above reference table, the low score of four or six levels floats over the level of basically equivalent to the IELTS 5 point level, and there is still a gap of 2 points from 7 points.
However, because most students in the fourth and sixth level exams only take the exam once, plus the naked exam and the element of luck, it is not necessarily possible to measure your true level.
On the other hand, IELTS and level 4 and 6 are not the same from the preparation method to the test content, and there is no shortage of students around the sister who have a low score of level 4 or 6, but IELTS is good or the score of level 4 or 6 is very high, but IELTS is confused.

After understanding what level you are currently at, let's see how much you have to get to the 7-point gap, and combine your own study time to understand how long you have to fight for this.
Step 2: Understand how big the gap is and how long you have to fight for it
If it is indeed a difference of 2 points, and it is increased from 5 points to 7 points, this gap is not as simple as you think.
According to previous research done by IELTS officials, it takes about 300 hours of continuous study (at least 18 hours per week on average) to raise the average score band of a student from 5.5 to 6.0. Surprisingly, more than 300 hours of continuous study can improve a student's score band from 6.0 to 6.5 or from 6.5 to 7.0.
According to this algorithm, under the normal allocation of study and rest time, the average Chinese student may need nearly a year of continuous study to improve their IELTS score from 5 to 7.
Of course, the above time requirements are all on average. In the real situation, some students may spend 2-3 months to prepare for the exam to improve their scores from 5 points to 7 points, and some students may also be too long on the front line, too tired of preparing for the exam, and have not reached the goal of 7 points after nearly a year of revision.
According to the official IELTS research report, how quickly your IELTS score improves depends on the following five factors:
• Motivation:
Students with high motivation to learn are more likely to improve their overall scores than less motivated students.
• Value proposition for IELTS:
Some students believe that excellent language skills are important for future academic research or careers, and this proactive idea can improve their grades even more. On the contrary, if candidates only regard the IELTS test as an introductory test that they must pass to enter the university, this passive learning attitude is difficult to significantly improve the candidate's performance.
• Confidence:
Students who lack confidence, fear of using English, or have an impetuous attitude towards learning are likely to need more time to improve their overall score.
• Age
：
Older test takers definitely need more time to improve their overall scores than twenties. But based on the teachers' teaching experience, teenage candidates also need more time to prepare for the exam. This is because they have a relative lack of understanding of various social issues, and the IELTS test requires students taking the academic test to discuss related social issues in the test.
For example:
- The social impact of people's life expectancy longer than in the past
- Social factors that increase people's stress
- The impact of technological change
• Learn IELTS only focuses on some of these things:
Some students take the test repeatedly, but their results are still not ideal because they only train on one or two skills required for the IELTS test, especially brush reading and listening. While this may improve the performance of the training-focused part, it ignores other skills required in the exam, resulting in a decline in the score of that part. This way the overall score will not be significantly improved.
Step 3: Make a test preparation plan and study according to the plan
After understanding the difference between yourself and the IELTS goal and the preparation time, you can first make a preparation plan for yourself, preferably fine enough to be careful about what you do every day and week, and it is also convenient for you to follow it better.
In addition, you can choose an IELTS test after 3 months to register first, after all, after signing up for the name and paying the money, this matter has become a nail in the coffin, put a little pressure on yourself, and you will be more motivated to review.
If you have already registered for class to study with the teacher, you will continue to learn according to the learning tasks and courses released by the teacher every day, and you do not need to do a set of planning yourself. And students who choose to study IELTS by themselves, remember not to copy the experience post on the Internet, after all, suitable for them is not necessarily suitable for you, to find and their own background similar experience to imitate and make their own plans Oh ~ ~
Before officially starting to prepare for the exam, there is also a misunderstanding that everyone should avoid - buying a bunch of IELTS exam preparation books may eventually become a "bookcase eating ash series"
In fact, IELTS review has a full set of Cambridge IELTS real questions (sword 4-16) is enough, good use can harvest a lot of dry goods ~
All in all, due to the different situations of different students, it is not possible to generalize that it takes a year for the low scores of the fourth and sixth grades to reach 7 points. There are also many students who have studied for 3 months, from the 5-point level of the initial diagnosis to the final test to the 7-point score.
The IELTS test is not as difficult as everyone thinks, if you can grasp the "secret" involved in the question behind it and break it in a targeted way, I believe you can get a sense of achievement in the IELTS test.
