How difficult is IELTS 4 and 8?

In the new immigration policy, the focus of graduates studying abroad is nothing more than IELTS requirements. Many China students always express their anger, dissatisfaction and even protest in indecent language when commenting on the improvement of IELTS requirements. Experts gave the best answer, that is, China students really can't get such high scores, or immigrants deliberately make things difficult.

According to a survey conducted by Monash University Research Center last week, in applying for permanent residence, the improvement of language requirements directly determines whether Australia's overseas study market can become an important part of attraction, while several years of university education cannot guarantee the substantial improvement of students' language ability. In addition, IELTS, which is dominated by four 6-points, suddenly canceled four 6-point bonus options, making the improvement of the overall threshold unspeakable.

John Findley, a senior education consultant and immigration agent, commented on the reform of language bonus points. He believes that such language requirements and deviations from key points make the whole language score a bit similar to racial discrimination. Personally, he linked the current language test score system with the past policy of Bai 'ao, and thought that the requirements of such a language system were straightforward and clear. If you don't take English as the first language, you will naturally be eliminated in the application.

According to the data, this is indeed the case at present. Only about 465,438+0% of IELTS candidates whose first language is English have the chance to get a total score of 8 (only a total score of 8 instead of four eights) or higher, while only 2% of candidates whose second language is English, such as China candidates, have the ability to reach a total score of 8, while other countries, Spanish candidates and Arabs have 5%.

Some experts believe that the passing status of this language has basically resisted the standard that most people can reach the score line, which is unfair, because according to the explanation of China nationality students, about 45% of China people who obtained permanent residency four years ago studied business courses, and the English language ability of these people who obtained permanent residency did not meet the four minimum standards of 6 points.
