IELTS Band 7 Preparation: What It Takes

What band 7 looks like in each IELTS skill and a focused preparation plan to move from band 6 or 6.5 to band 7.

What band 7 means

At band 7 you handle complex language well, with occasional errors. In Writing that means a clear position, well-developed ideas and a good share of error-free sentences.

A focused plan

Identify the criterion holding you back in Writing and Speaking, aim for around 30 correct answers in Listening and Reading practice, and take a mock test every two weeks.
