IELTS is one of the two most popular English language tests. Over 3 million people all over the world pass it every year.
The exam format is quite standard and you can prepare for it. But from year to year, those who pass the test make the same mistakes, which greatly reduce their results.
We analyzed the tips and tricks that the official IELTS website provides and identified several common mistakes that are most common. Let's talk about them.
Most mistakes are made in the "Writing" and "Speaking" stages. That is, while writing texts and dialogue with the examiner. The difficulty is that at these stages you need to speak and write in your own words, and not choose from options or write short answers from one or several words.
Therefore, let's pay attention to common mistakes and important points.
1. The volume of texts in the "Writing" block
In the written part of the exam, two texts must be written. The first is an essay or letter on a given topic, and the second is to argue your point of view. And the amount of writing in this case is critical.

While it is obviously related to the topic, the introduction is confusing and the test taker’s position is difficult to identify. Ideas are limited and although the test taker attempts to support them with examples from experience, they remain unclear. There is no overall progression in the response and the ideas are not coherently linked.
