CLARITY IS KEY IN IELTS

There seems to be a wrong notion embedded in the minds of IELTS test takers that it is mandatory to write or speak high-sounding words in the IELTS exam.

Using bombastic words need not attract a high band in IELTS. Topic related vocabulary or reasonably uncommon WORDS, but with contextual relevance, are expected in IELTS Writing & Speaking for a score 6.5 or above.

High end words in IELTS do not mean that certain high- sounding memorised words or some confusing and misleading phrases.

What the IELTS exam conductors mean is that if you are smart enough to use the right collocations and right words which are suitable for the topic discussing, you can attract a score above 6.5 band or more.

However, in reading your familiarity with many uncommon words, understanding of the meaning certain uncommon words and their contextual use might be useful. It is because some reading passages appear to be difficult as there may be quite a few difficult lexical resource, especially in the 3rd passage.

Suffice to say that having a good command of vocabulary is required, but not the use of any misleading words or phrases to impress the examiner. It is worth to note that examiners are trained to identify the use of unnecessary and bombastic or declaratory words or phrases.
