A Common Mistake
People Make on the IELTS

--and how to avoid making that
mistake when you take the test.
What is a Common Mistake People
Make on the IELTS Test?
• You may be surprised to learn about one of the
  most common mistakes made on the IELTS test.
  That mistake is not following directions. Each
  section of the IELTS test has directions that the
  test taker is to follow.
• Many test takers do not follow these directions.
  This costs you points. This is totally unavoidable.
  Do not make this mistake. I am going to share with
  you examples of these mistakes and how you can
  prepare yourself so that you do not make these
  same mistakes.
Here Are Some Examples Of This
Common IELTS Mistake

• Failing to address every point in a writing
  assignment. If the instructions say to
  address 3 points and they list the
  points, you MUST address those 3 points.
• Failing to write the required amount of
  words for an assignment
• Speaking about a different subject than
  what was instructed
How To Avoid Making This Mistake

• Read and re-read the directions. Keeping
  your time in mind, make sure that you
  understand the directions.
• If you do not understand something, read it
  again
• When completing a long writing section, while
  you are writing, glance back at the directions
  to make sure that you are following them
  correctly and addressing all of the points as
  instructed.
Do Not Lose Points On The IELTS
For Making This Avoidable Mistake

• You cannot afford to lose any points by
  making this mistake.
• It is a simple mistake, but it can cost you a
  lot.
• Remember: Read and re-read the directions
  as necessary.
               HAPPY STUDYING!
