COMMON MISTAKES IN IELTS EXAM
www.knowyourtutor.com
If you have scored badly on your last attempt or have
not been able to score a higher band, these common
mistakes must be kept in mind so that you can avoid
them in your future attempts. While you take IELTS
coaching in any city, be it IELTS coaching in Amritsar,
IELTS coaching in Ludhiana or IELTS coaching in
Bhatinda

Not Reading The Question Carefully:
www.knowyourtutor.com
After you get the question paper in hand in the examination hall, the
most important thing to do is to read the question very carefully
before attempting them. Sometimes it is very clearly written, “no
more than two words” “no more than three words”. in such scenario
attempting the question with more than the number of words
required will not impress the examiner at all. Thus, it is important to
answer the question in the number of words that has been instructed.

Time Management:
www.knowyourtutor.com
IELTS test is total 2 hours 40 minutes. It is very important to adhere
to this time limit which is further bifurcated. No extra time is given
during the examination. Reading is for 1 hour, listening is for 40
minutes. Hence it is important to practice your modules adhering to
the time limit as prescribed. While attempting the questions, another
important point is to strategize the way you attempt the questions.
There are always three levels of questions throughout the IELTS test.
Easy, medium and difficult.

Word limit:

Another mistake committed by the students while appearing for
IELTS examination is to attempt the answer in the number of words
as mentioned. During the written task, if it is mentioned that a
minimum of 250 words for essay then the ideal would be between
270- 280 words and not more than that. The examiner will not be
impressed if the question is attempted in a very long format. What is
more important here is the quality and not the quantity.

Leave the Blank Answers:
www.knowyourtutor.com
This is basically for listening and reading module. What the students
usually do is to leave an answer blank if they are not able to locate an
answer. This is a wrong approach for the IELTS examination. Since
there is no negative marking in the IELTS examination, even a
guesswork may fetch you some marks.
www.knowyourtutor.com
Parroting the Questions:
www.knowyourtutor.com
Speaking like a parrot is a common mistake done by the
students during the Speaking module. The examiner is not
sitting to listen to an answer which is repeated like a
parrot but a different answer. For example, if you are
asked by the examiner that do you like playing sports? If
you answer, yes I like playing sports, this does not qualify
as an impressive answer.
