I was taking a reading test and I didn't get points for some of the answers. The questions where you have to write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS seem to be graded unfairly.

Should I pay attention and start including a/an? Is this how the real test is also graded? submitted by /u/Steel3D [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I actually had a month to prepare. I'm not native but I speak English daily, so when I was there, the examiner was talking super super fast, I've never experienced that. It was so fast that I couldn't process the question and made me nervous. However I was replying also fast ( not that much). And just on one question,she said the word "problems", but I couldn't process it because it was fast and then I asked if these factors can be negative. And she made a face like oh..

I am soon to graduate and therefore would have to apply for jobs and/or PhD programs, so that's the main reason I took IELTS. I am not satisfied with my results at all, but various reasons affected my performance on test day. I am thinking about retaking the test, mainly to improve my Speaking score, but I wanted to know if it would actually have an impact for my purpose. I know that for graduate programs 7 is the usual score required in all sections, but is it the same for immigration/postgraduate/job applications? submitted by /u/malusant [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
