What is the most difficult part of IELTS?

The grading standards for listening and reading are the same, and there is no national difference in the same region. The IELTS test system divides Asia into Southeast Asia and uses Asia-Pacific paper, which is different from the European paper used in the IELTS test system in the UK.

However, IELTS, as a standardized test widely used in the world, has very strict grading standards and the examiners are also strictly trained. Therefore, there is no difference in the question type, time, difficulty and scoring standard of IELTS test at home and abroad. The biggest difference is that in some foreign countries, the listening part is played by loudspeakers or tape recorders, while the domestic test sites are all received by wired or wireless headphones.

writing

Let's talk about writing first. For example, domestic compositions usually get low marks. Because writing is the most difficult and slowest part of the IELTS test, regardless of Chinese grammar and Chinese thinking of domestic students, the vocabulary of ordinary students can't keep up, and templates are flooding, so it is really common for examiners to read the legendary composition with a score of 5.

So if you take an exam abroad and use a template, the sentence coincidence rate will not be too high compared with the composition of candidates from other countries, which is why some children's shoes will be a little more kind when they take an exam abroad.

spoken language

As for oral English, because there are more factors affecting the oral English test than the other three items, it has also become the single subject with the biggest difference in IELTS scores in different places. In addition to your personal English level, there are three aspects that will affect your IELTS speaking performance: test sites, luck and examiner's mood. For example, in Britain, IELTS is easy to test in London, Bath and Tevez, Arberry. And the hardest part is Cardiff.

Generally speaking, however, the speaking test atmosphere abroad is still relatively relaxed. No one signed up for oral English or asked you to take out your mobile phone and give you an oral time card. Just wait at the door of the designated classroom. When it's your turn, the examiner will come out and call you in, and then start the exam.

If you take the exam in China, it is recommended to take the exam in a small city when the time is particularly tight, and try to avoid first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. Relatively speaking, it is more difficult for cities such as Beishangguang to get high scores in oral tests, while it is easier for cities such as Shenyang, Dalian and Qingdao to get high scores in oral tests.

Generally speaking, there is little difference between IELTS listening and reading tests at home and abroad. Foreign countries may be loose in writing, not nervous in oral English and relaxed in examination atmosphere, while domestic examination posts are tight and competition in first-tier cities is fierce. Finally, I emphasize that it is very important for everyone to improve their English ability in preparation for exams at home and abroad.
