Did you know that your cultural IQ can affect your Speaking score on the IELTS exam?

It’s true!

Today you’ll find out how.

There are questions that can be traps on the IELTS exam.

Examiners are human and when they hear your response to a question like “what’s the difference between activities that men and women do?” they will have a negative gut reaction to your answer if you respond in a way that shows a lack of cultural sensitivity.

IE 39: Why The Test Is Recorded and Why It Matters to You Apr 28, 2015

Show notes

We have a HOT new IELTS video training out! Get it here and learn how to get a 7 or higher on your IELS exam.

This morning one of our listeners just took the Speaking test and we got a great question from her.

She had two questions:

1- “Is it bad that the examiner asked me to speak louder?”

2- “Is it ok that I took a quick sip of water during the test?”

Neither of these issues is a problem that will affect your grade.

But you must speak loudly enough that the examiner can hear you of course.

IE 38: The 4 Deadliest Language Crutches on the IELTS Speaking Test Apr 27, 2015

Are you using crutches when it comes to the IELTS Speaking test?

Today you’ll find out why crutches can be deadly on the IELTS exam.

Language crutches in English are “like,” “um,” “uh” and words like those. When you use those on the IELTS Speaking test you lose points for both fluency and vocabulary.

You lose fluency points because you are repeating yourself and you lose vocabulary points because it sounds like you don’t have the vocabulary words that you need.

You have to stop using them on the exam even though you hear native speakers using them all of the time and they are natural.

Come back to our site to find out how to stop using these crutches

IELTS Energy 37: The Two Steps to Follow if You Run Out of Ideas in Speaking Part 2 Apr 24, 2015

Do you ever run out of things to say on the IELTS Speaking test?

What should you do in this situation?

This happens a lot in Part 2 of the Speaking test.

Follow two steps if your mind goes blank and you run out of ideas:

Be honest. Say something like “That’s all I can think of to say on that topic.” “I can’t believe it’s not two minutes yet.” This will also help with your anxiety. If you say what you are experiencing, you will feel much more relaxed.
Next, think of something else to say. Think of anything in your personal experience that connects to the topic in any way.

Follow these two steps the next time you run out of ideas on the Speaking test and let us know how it goes.

IELTS Energy 36: The BIGGEST Myth About Academic Writing and Speaking on the IELTS Apr 23, 2015

Show notes

Get our FREE IELTS Video Training Course Now

Do you know what the biggest myth about writing and speaking on the IELTS is?

What should you do if the questions that you get on the speaking test are too broad?

You should talk about examples from your personal life.

Tell your own stories. Think about your most recent experiences from the topic.

For example:

Q: Do you enjoy exercise?

A: Yeah just yesterday I was going on a bike ride and I saw cherry blossoms.

Don’t be afraid to “boast” about yourself.

Also use linking phrases to get a higher fluency and coherence score. Examiners listen for them.

Use linking words like:

“In fact…”
“Indeed”
“Actually”

IELTS Energy 35: Why You Should Throw Away Your Grammar Book If You Want to Do Well on the Exam Apr 22, 2015

Did you know that you should spend LESS time on grammar when you prepare for the IELTS exam?

Does that sound strange to you?

If it does then you should listen to today’s episode.

Why shouldn’t you focus on grammar?

It’s not worth the time and it’s almost impossible to improve your grammar score for the speaking section quickly. Don’t waste your time on grammar textbooks.

Instead of doing grammar exercises, you should try reading a newspaper to improve your reading score.

In speaking, you are graded on 4 things:

fluency and coherence- keep talking and don’t use “ums” and “uhs’
vocab- use exaggerated language, slangs, and idioms to get a 7
pronunciation- get a 7 by using intonation and emotions
grammar- this will be much harder to improve

Remember, your speaking score is an average. You can still get a speaking score of 7 without focusing on grammar.

What do you think?

Are you focusing a lot on grammar?

Are you going to change your strategy after today’s episode?
