IELTS Advice: "I only improved by 0.5"

I often hear from students who are disappointed because their scores have only improved by half a band. For example: "I've been studying for 3 months but my score has only improved by 0.5".

My reply is always this: You should be happy! An improvement of half a band is great, and it shows that you are on the right track.

Remember: small, gradual improvements are signposts on the path to success!

IELTS Advice: tangible daily progress
If you want to make tangible progress every day, aim to do one of the following:

1. Analyse one grammar or vocabulary mistake that you made, and understand the correction.
2. Analyse one mistake in a reading or listening test, and understand why you got the answer wrong.
3. Learn one new word, collocation or phrase.
4. Learn how to express one idea in a 'natural' way. Find out how a native speaker would say it.
5. Prepare ideas, opinions and vocabulary for one IELTS topic.
6. Read one sample band 9 essay, and highlight anything useful e.g. vocabulary, cohesive devices, how ideas are developed.
7. Write one paragraph and get it checked by a teacher.
8. Record yourself doing one speaking test. Transcribe the recording and analyse the transcription or get it checked by a teacher.

I could add more points, but I'm sure you get the idea. Just do one thing that feels like real progress every day. Imagine where you'll be after 100 days!
