4 rating dimensions and 17 score points for IELTS

speaking

　　Most candidates know that the IELTS Speaking Score has four dimensions, but how
do you make specific preparations for each part? This article specifically explains the four
dimensions that the examiner most valued when scoring, and the 17 points included in the
dimension. Based on these points, you can improve your speaking ability more directionally.
When
　　I was studying in the UK, I happened to know an IELTS examiner. After getting familiar
with it, he began to reveal some high-scoring standards for IELTS speaking. I organized his
original words into the following articles. The name of the article is called the IELTS
Speaking Examiner's four scoring dimensions and 17 scoring points. Grasping this thing is
a more direction for candidates to prepare for the exam.

　　The IELTS examiner usually scores from the following four aspects:

　　When you go into the speaking test, the examiner grades you in four areas:

　　FC--Fluency & coherence Fluency and coherence

　　GA--Grammar Range & Accuracy Accuracy

　　LR--Lexical Resource vocabulary richness

　　PR--Pronunciation Voice fluency and clarity

　　Now to be honest every examiner knows what the strong and weak areas are for
Chinese students. They all know that LR, which we can also call vocabulary is generally
their strong point and FC and PR are generally the weaker. That does not mean that all
The average IELTS score for Chinese students is 5.5.

　　Honestly, the sensationalist’s strengths and weaknesses for roast ducks have long
been clear. Chinese roast ducks know that vocabulary is their strength, but fluency,
coherence and tone of voice are their weakness. This is not to say that every student has
this problem. The average IELTS score for Chinese roast duck is 5.5.

　　The profile usually breaks down like this. Examiners called this a “jagged profile”
because on a graph it looks like a jagged line.

　　The results of Chinese roast ducks are jagged (as shown below). The examiners called
this a "sawtooth pattern" because the scores of the test ducks fluctuated in a zigzag pattern.

　　FC 5 GA 6 PR 5 LR 6

　　If we take an average of these four scores we can see that is 5.5 score. This means
1/4
that any strategy you use for passing the IELTS test should concentrate on FC and PR
more than GA and LR. I am not saying that you should forget about GA and LR are
completely, just focus on the typical weak points.

　　The average of the four scores is 5.5. This means that if you want to get an IELTS
score, then your focus should be more on fluency and coherence, voice, rather than
grammar and vocabulary.

　　In the next few parts I will take a look at each area and discuss how you can increase
your scores by looking at what examiners want. On the next page you can see a checklist
of basic questions that you can ask yourself during the exam. You can manage to pay
attention to all of these points, then you are going to succeed on the exam.

　　In the next few sections, I will detail how to prepare each part to “please” the examiner
to get a high score. On the next page is a series of questions that will be highlighted during
your exam. If you can notice these points while taking the test, you may not be far from the
high score.

　　A point that I want to remind you of, is that it is always your weak points that will pull
you down, so remember to maintain your strong points, but really focus on your weak
points so that everything evens out.

　　I want to remind the roast ducks that it is your weaknesses that are lowering your
score than your strengths. So, remember to constantly strengthen your strengths, but also
focus on improving your weaknesses so that you end up with good results.
