Factors contributing to success in IELTS


  • Positive attitude
  • To prepare for IELTS one should not have a complacent attitude. Remember IELTS was formed to enable migrants to communicate effectively in English in countries where English is the native language. Hence, the standard of English for IELTS is definitely higher than that of most Spoken English courses.When I was in the UK, I met several people who explained to me how crucial it was to be fluent in English at workplace. There were quite a few nurses who came in early 2000s before IELTS was made mandatory. They struggled initially to adapt to a complete English speaking environment. So, whatever effort you take to improve your English is for your own benefit.

  • English foundation
  • IELTS is an English test. It is necessary for candidates to have a strong foundation in basic English. Learn basic grammar like verb tenses, parts of speech, articles, modal verbs etc. In IELTS, you are tested on paraphrasing ability and spontaneous English communication. If your basic foundation is weak it is difficult to get a good band score. Learn 5 – 10 words on a daily basis to enhance your vocabulary. In this era of globalisation and social media where people from one place communicate with people around the world, English communication becomes vital for any sort of career growth. IELTS provides a golden opportunity to improve your English. Take this preparation seriously.

  • Adequate practice
  • Preparing for IELTS is like learning to drive a car. When you first learned driving, you would have certainly driven slowly. Initially, you would have mastered manoeuvring using steering wheel, changing gears and becoming familiar with brake, accelerator and clutch. Gradually, you must have picked up speed. Similarly, you need to improve on your accuracy for the test and then speed.
