Will the IELTS test in China be degraded?

The IELTS test consists of four parts: listening, speaking, reading and writing, and there are not many questions about the individual scores of listening and reading, while in the speaking and writing tests, there are often candidates who question the low scores. This is also the commonly known IELTS test score, compared with foreign IELTS test points, will students in mainland China really be scored? What should I do if I do get scored?

IELTS officials have always claimed that in order to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the test, all test scores are based on the candidate's performance on the test day, according to the same scoring criteria. Even a certain proportion of test papers are selected for secondary marking, so as to minimize human influence factors. Secondly, IELTS examiners in both China and other regional test centres have received comprehensive training and have a strict monitoring and assessment mechanism to monitor their scores on a regular basis.

Generally speaking, the most likely test is the Speaking test, where the examiners in the IELTS China test area are the same people, but the invigilators are rotated between different regions. Chinese candidates have obvious test-taking experience, coupled with a variety of preparation materials and IELTS training institutions to thoroughly analyze the test, there will be a phenomenon similar to speaking templates, writing universal sentence patterns, etc., most candidates abuse the template sentence patterns, resulting in more unpopular sentence patterns will appear in front of the examiner's eyes over and over again, which will inevitably lead to candidates difficult to get high scores in the writing and speaking tests. If someone feels that the examiner has random scoring and scoring behavior, most of them are because they have wrong judgments and expectations for their scores, and if there is really a situation where the score is extremely unreasonable, it is recommended to apply for a score reconsideration directly to eliminate the doubts in their hearts about the score.

If you still think it's easier to take the IELTS test abroad than at home, it is also an option to take the test in a European test area regardless of the cost of the test. In addition, if you decide that the test cost is high and it is not worth going so far, you can also choose Singapore, New Zealand, South Korea and other nearby regions that are more "economical" to take the IELTS test.

Hello, about whether the domestic IELTS test will be depressed.

The answer is clearly no.

First of all, the IELTS test checks the examiner's business skills at regular intervals. Examiners (usually instructors) with inspection qualifications in different regions (or countries) are randomly selected from each other. Several candidates are drawn at a different time slot, and then listen to the recording to score the score.

If any of the selected candidates have a new score that is different from the original score, or if the test process does not meet the requirements (absent time, overtime, greetings, inflections, non-standard questioning methods, etc.), a series of follow-up mechanisms will be triggered. Depending on the point difference, the mechanisms that will be triggered include: retraining, de-consideration, immediate suspension, and immediate dismissal (global ban).

This is to ensure that the examiner is grading according to the detailed requirements on the Band Deor. Examiners do not rely on subjective guesswork to give scores, they do the addition and subtraction according to a detailed list of points scored and lost.

In addition, due to the large consideration in China, in order to detect unqualified examiners earlier and reduce the impact area, examiners in China especially enjoy the requirement of regular examination every 6 months. In other countries, the range is 12 months. Each candidate involved in the regular examination has a very detailed written report, which records in detail every score and loss point of the candidate.

Finally, when taking the oral test, the examiner only has the candidate's ID and name on the scoring sheet, and no other information. Therefore, they do not know what the origin of the candidates is, and they cannot predict a certain type of candidates (such as institutional score teachers, candidates who have scored multiple times, etc.), and they cannot score points.

Writing can be overwhelming, but speaking seems impossible.

The cities where the IELTS score is not serious are Sichuan, Yunnan, Hainan, Urumqi, Nanning and other places.

At present, the test centers with high scores in China:

North China: Capital Economic and Trade and Dalian Institute of Education Examination Center.

East China: Soochow University, Hefei University of Technology.

Central Region: Wuwai Yingzhong, Shaanxi Normal University.

Southern region: Guangzhou Tianhe Model City Building, Hangzhou Zhejiang Education Building, Shanghai China Normal University, Kunming, Hainan University.

Western region: Xi'an Jiaotong University, Chengdu University of Electronic Science and Technology, Northwest Normal University, Hohhot Normal University.

Northeast China: Liaoning Normal University, Changchun.

Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan: Macau, Hong Kong.

Differences between different IELTS points:

1.Candidates' level: If the level of English education in first-tier cities is high, the oral level of the local test will naturally improve, and the examiner's expectation will be increased within a certain range, and the examiner's score will be more strict, and the exam will be more difficult.

2.Examiner mobility: Examiners in first-tier coastal cities will be more mobile, and the scoring criteria will also change, while examiners in small cities in the central and western regions will have less mobility, and examiners will be more familiar with the oral level of local candidates, and the overall scoring system will be relatively stable.

How to choose an IELTS point:

1.Transportation: Try to choose a test center with convenient transportation and accommodation, otherwise the long journey will make your body tired and you may not be in good shape during the test.

2.Examination room environment: The environment around the examination room will also affect the performance of candidates to a certain extent, and some more sensitive people will feel obvious discomfort with sound, taste and other things.

3.Regional distribution: Sichuan, Yunnan, Hainan, Urumqi, Nanning and other places with a higher oral score are the areas with higher oral scores, and the cities with more serious scores are Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Tianjin and other places.

Overseas regions such as South Korea, Japan, Bangkok and other places basically do not have a pressure score, and qualified candidates can choose these places.

1. How many points have been counted in the IELTS test?

Generally speaking, a score of 6 is a basis for undergraduate study, and a score above a score is called a high score.

But when applying to schools, it depends on the requirements of the institution and major you are applying for IELTS scores, and how much they require you to score IELTS. However, it is worth noting that when applying for the school, you should pay attention to the minimum IELTS admission score of the school as your minimum IELTS target score.

2. What is the IELTS score to study abroad?

For this question, each country has different requirements for English, and each school has different requirements for English.

1. The United States. Prestigious schools, whether they are undergraduate or graduate, have relatively high requirements for IELTS scores. IELTS generally requires a minimum score of 7 for admission. If you're applying to business schools and law schools at top 50 universities, as well as postgraduate students in ** majors, you'll need to achieve at least an IELTS score.

Even if you apply for a regular undergraduate degree in the United States, you must have at least an IELTS score or above, and a chance of graduate school at least a score or above.

2. Canada.

All colleges and universities in Canada recognize IELTS, and general universities generally require a score of above and above. Some Canadian institutions, such as universities in the United States, will have a higher IELTS score than TOEFL, and some universities or majors require a score of 7.

3. New Zealand.

A minimum of IELTS is required. Chinese students need to achieve IELTS 6; For direct undergraduate studies, IELTS is required; IELTS is required for direct postgraduate students. Professional disciplines and directions such as nursing, law, and medicine have relatively high requirements for IELTS, and undergraduate students need to achieve a score or higher, and for graduate students, this requires a score of 7 or even higher.

4. Australia.

A score of 7 is required for the major, and a score of 6 for a regular university is sufficient.

I will not introduce them one by one here, how many IELTS scores you can study abroad depend on the IELTS score requirements of the school you are applying to and the major.

The total score of the IELTS test is 9 points, and its total score is taken as the average score of 4 subjects of listening, speaking, reading and writing, and 6 points is generally a score for undergraduate students. The IELTS test has never passed the standard, which is equivalent to saying that there is no passing line. It also depends on the IELTS score required by the institution and programme you are applying to.

If the admission score of the institution and major you apply for is quite high, the corresponding IELTS score will be higher.

Generally speaking, an IELTS score of more than a score is considered a high score. The overall IELTS score is 9, the standard for studying abroad: IELTS 6 meets the standard for studying in a general undergraduate, and the score is a sign score for a better undergraduate.

The IELTS score standard stipulates that a score of 6 can generally use English, and a score of 7 is a good English ability, so a score above indicates that the personal English proficiency level of the test is at the upper intermediate level.

Generally speaking, a total score of 7 points and a score of 6 or more in each subject is sufficient, although a higher score is more advantageous.

IELTS has a total score of 9, IELTS belongs to the upper middle level, 7 points is a good English level, 6 points is the level of mastery of English, the score is a more common score, if you want to achieve a score in the IELTS test, the overall vocabulary requirement is 6000-7000.

IELTS score is a common requirement for the vast majority of universities in the UK, and generally speaking, the requirement for master's students in the UK is that there is no lower than IELTS. Some lower-ranked schools or some of the higher-ranked schools may only require an IELTS score. But if it is a first-class university, the IELTS requirements are basically scored, and there will be individual requirements.

Taking the UK as an example, you can use your IELTS score to apply to top universities in the UK, such as the University of Southampton (business), the University of Exeter, the University of York (Master of Accounting and Finance), the University of Plymouth, Loughborough University, Cardiff University (business), etc.

If the applicant's IELTS score can reach the score, then the school to apply for is definitely more advantageous, and it can basically meet the language requirements of a first-class school. If the applicant has an IELTS score, then basically any university can apply.

If you want to know how many prestigious universities you can apply for at your level, you can enter your basic information (GPA, language scores, majors, college background, etc.) into the study abroad volunteer reference system, and the system will automatically match the cases of students in a similar situation to you from the database, and see which colleges and majors they have successfully applied for, so that you can see what level of colleges and majors you can apply for at your current level, and accurately position yourself.

To say that there have always been two major rumors in the domestic IELTS community: domestic examiners pressure scores, and foreign IELTS is better.

Let's talk about domestic pressure points first. There have always been rumors of IELTS pressure scores in China. The so-called pressure score does not mean that domestic IELTS examiners will be bad.

Compared to the examiner factor, the exam itself is a big problem in the place of "China".

There are two reasons for this: in China, no matter what the exam, it tends to be more difficult. First, there are many people and the pressure of competition is high; The second is that Chinese students are very good at exams, and if you are not careful, they can give you a score of 10 and 20 (IELTS out of 9).

After so many years, think about the IELTS routine books that occupy major bookstores, you have to vomit when you review, and the domestic examiners are estimated to vomit in the test...Everyone, pay attention, just don't step on the thunder.

IELTS is better abroad? As soon as I talked about going abroad to take IELTS, everyone was excited and chatted endlessly. As a result, hey??? There are really people who do quite well in the exam!

This little partner, through 2 and a half years of hard work, then Vietnam IELTS. I got such a high score! Listening:,Reading:,Writing:,Listening:.

So is it better to take IELTS abroad? Let's break it down.

Listening and reading. The grading criteria for listening and reading are the same, and there are no national differences between the same region. The IELTS test system divides Asia into Southeast Asia, and uses the Asia-Pacific paper, which is different from the IELTS test system in the UK, which uses the European paper.

However, the IELTS test scoring criteria are very strict, and the examiners are also highly trained, so there is no difference between domestic and foreign IELTS test questions in terms of question type, time, difficulty and scoring criteria.

Writing. For example, domestic essays are generally given relatively low scores. Since writing is the most difficult and slowest part of the IELTS test, aside from the Chinese grammar and Chinese thinking of domestic students, the vocabulary of ordinary students is not as good as the general knowledge, and the template is overflowing, so the legendary examiner's composition with a score of 5 at a glance is really common.

Therefore, if you go to a foreign exam + use a template, compared with the composition of candidates from other countries, the overlap rate of sentences will not be too high, which is why some children's shoes use a template for essays in foreign countries, and the examiner will be slightly more merciful.

However, it is generally reflected that the atmosphere of speaking exams abroad is relatively relaxed. There is no one to register or let you take out your mobile phone, and give you a speaking time card, when the time comes, you will go to the designated classroom door and wait, when it is your time, the examiner will come out and call you in, and then the stool imitation brother will start the test.

If you take the test in China, it is recommended to go to a small city to take the test when the time is particularly tight, and try to avoid first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai.

Comparatively speaking, it will be more difficult to get a high score in the oral test in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, while it will be easier to get a high score in cities such as Shenyang, Dalian, and Qingdao.

In general, there is not much difference between IELTS listening and reading tests at home and abroad, and writing abroad may be more relaxed. Finally, I would like to emphasize that whether it is a domestic or foreign exam, it is important that everyone can improve their English ability in the preparation for the exam.
