Topic: IELTS Preparation Strategies: How to Improve English Proficiency The IELTS test is a threshold for many international students, but it needs to be done again, or even many times. So, how many times do you have to pass IELTS? This article explores this issue and shares some test preparation strategies to improve your English skills.
Welcome to the front line of studying abroadFirst of all, let one thing be clear: there is no so-called passing mark for IELTS, as long as your score meets the requirements of the university you are applying to, it is considered passed. For example, if you want to go to high school in the UK, you only need IELTS 5.5 to enroll. But if you plan to go to graduate school in Europe, generally speaking, you need to get at least a total score of 6.5 and no less than 6 points in each subject to get into a slightly better school.
So, IELTS means that your score meets the requirements of foreign universities. According to the official statistics of IELTS, Chinese mainland candidates take IELTS 2.8 times on average, most students need 2-3 times to pass, and only a very small number of people can pass at one time.
Why don't most people do it once? If you have not passed the exam 1-2 times, don't worry too much, this is normal. Usually, the reasons for repeated failures can be boiled down to the following points, let's see if it is related to your situation: Insufficient English foundation: Some people rush to prepare for the Mayas exam, just rote memorizing various high-scoring ideas and writing materials, but memorizing the front and forgetting the back, this cycle leads to nothing.
Wrong preparation method: Some people use IELTS as a university level four or six to prepare for the test, brush the questions until they vomit, but still cannot pass.
Weak points have not improved: Some candidates do not clearly recognize their English weaknesses and do not prepare for the test in a targeted manner.
Lack of an effective test preparation plan: There is no effective test preparation plan, but the preparation is carried out with a hammer in the east and an axe in the west.
Choosing the wrong teacher: Some students choose teachers who are not professional enough in speaking and writing, and as a result, they are led to the wrong learning path and waste time by repeatedly changing teachers.
Finally, we would like to emphasize that the essence of IELTS preparation is to gradually improve your English listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. If your test prep deviates from this direction, then you need to stop and think about it. Hope today's sharing is helpful to you!
