We recommend writing all of your Reading and Listening answers in all capital letters so that the examiner can easily understand them. In the computer-delivered IELTS, however, handwriting is not a concern, so you should attempt to write all words in upper and lower case.
Each correct response is worth one point. Scores out of forty are converted to the nine-band IELTS scale. Whole and half bands are used to report scores. Academic and general training reading tests use the same grading scale.
The IELTS Speaking test is evaluated in a face-to-face interview by certified IELTS examiners using a set of assessment criteria to award band scores for each of the four criteria: fluency and coherence, lexical resource, grammatical range and accuracy, and pronunciation.
The IELTS Writing test is evaluated in the same manner for both Writing Task 1 and Writing Task 2, with examiners awarding band scores for each of the four criteria that correspond most closely to the performance at each band level.
On the writing exam, all responses must be written with a pen or pencil. You have the option of writing in all capital letters or all lowercase letters. You are permitted to make notes on the exam paper, but keep in mind that anything written on the paper will not be graded.

IELTS consists of four sections: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Two distinct IELTS modules exist: academic and general training. In both modules, the speaking and listening tests are identical, but the reading and writing tests are distinct.
You may use whichever English language is most comfortable for you. You can choose between British English and American English. IELTS examiners will award you the same score regardless of whether you use American or British English, as both are regarded as acceptable forms of the language.
Current English Proficiency: If you already have a strong foundation in English and are comfortable with reading, writing, listening, and speaking, it might take you a shorter time to prepare. In this case, intensive preparation for a few months might be sufficient.

Regular Language Use: If you have been regularly using English in your daily life, such as reading books, watching movies, listening to songs, and engaging in conversations, you may need less time to prepare. It's essential to maintain consistent exposure to the language.

Dedication and Study Time: Your dedication and the number of hours you can devote to IELTS preparation per day or week will also impact how long it takes. If you can study intensively for several hours each day, you might progress more quickly.

Practice Tests: Taking practice tests is crucial to familiarize yourself with the IELTS format and timing. Regularly practicing under test conditions can help you improve faster.
Both the General Training and Academic modules of the IELTS can be taken on a computer or on paper. The test format, question types, time allotted to each test section, and content are identical for both the IELTS computer-based test and the IELTS paper-based test. The only difference is your experience on test day.
It is a common misconception that IELTS is all about a few-month course, and if you can't pass, you should switch tutors or institutions. That will not assist you either. IELTS is based on your command of the English language, so there is no wrong place for you to take the exam if you have a sufficient grasp of the language
The fact that many test-takers struggle to pass the writing section is not unusual given that the average score is six bands. Numerous candidates have attempted the examination multiple times but have failed despite their preparation. This is due to the fact that the test-takers do not meet the criteria. They consistently miss the criteria, which is the target, and fail the writing section as a result.
