how to get 7 band in each module for Australia

1. How to get 7 Band in each Module in IELTS
for Australia?
Many individuals who are planning to move to Australia and other
speaking countries for work purposes are after 7 band in each module as a requirement of
immigration officials but majority of them do no find way to score it.
What they do is just repeat exams with the hope of scoring better without working on weak ares.
IELTS examiners are trained and have solid background of marking so one can not cheat them
unless develops skills. It is better to work on weak areas and improve them rather than simply
testing yourselves. Get plenty help from teacher in modules where you are weak and ask him to
identify areas where you have problems and then practice well to bring improvement.
Last week i had a student who came from Australia for vocation of 2 months, she is on student
visa and wants to apply for her permanent residency for which she needs to score 7 in each. She
gave two times exam scoring 6.5 overall in Karachi and 6 in Australia. This time she wants to
attempt in Karachi , she thought in Karachi marking system may have flexibility which is wrong.
IELTS marking is same all over the world so one should not keep such feelings. I believe there
may be .5 difference which may be because of laziness of examiner like not picking your good
points well by not paying attention but not greater than that Which could be in Pakistan or any
country.
My suggestion to get 7 in each is simply work on modules where you are weak. If it is reading
then improve specially "Skimming and Scanning" practice plenty stuff to get used to questions
types and finding their answers quickly. Try to work out what every paragraph is about means
what the main idea of the paragraph is and what are the supporting details which back up the
main idea. Same thing goes on in every paragraph and examiners expect you to work out and
differentiate between main ideas and details by giving you variety of questions.
I had a student , his friend in Australia gave about 22 times IELTS exam but did not score his
desired band. Again such mad efforts can not bring results unless weak areas are improved.
It is recommended to approach a well experienced teacher who can identify weak areas and
improve your time management and check your essays and let you know what you need to
improve. Take your time and improve it naturally rather than resitting in exam.
Make sure you study with group of students not individually. As some of your course colleagues
may let you know their approach or you may notice their way of attempting questions in all
modules. But make sure that group that you plan to study with should have good command over
English. I have personally seen many my students who have benefited from the group students
who they did course with. I still see some of my students chatting outside classroom or sit in

2. other class and discuss their weak areas or practice speaking or ask each other how to answer
questions in reading or writing. Another advantage of studying with a group is when everybody
asks questions that you do not have in mind which in fact teach you a lot. Sometimes you are not
that focused but when other students ask questions that opens your mind , as a result you have
better exposure to learn . Similarly on different occasions , other students share problems with
teacher that then helps other students.
Some candidates do self study for 7 band in IELTS which is good to some extent but not always
specially for below average students. As they can not pick their problems or do not have skills to
lead themselves in critical situation. As a result they give up or just guess and consider that their
full-length try. Obviously teacher can direct you accordingly and update you with what the
current patterns for each module are and how to attempt them in different situations.
