Studying abroad has always been a choice for many students. Some of them are just ideas and some have been put into practice. When applying for studying abroad, I have to mention IELTS English. Today's editor is going to tell you about the level of IELTS score 6. Come and have a look. Don't leave the idea of studying abroad, but you don't know about the IELTS scoring standard.
What is the level of IELTS score 6? In the assessment rules of IELTS score, Cambridge University examination committee expresses the score level of IELTS score 6 as follows: be able to use English more effectively, although there are inaccuracies, inappropriateness and misunderstandings, but be able to understand complex English in a familiar context. That is to say, the examinee's English level can cope with daily communication and work, but there are some inaccurate, inappropriate and misunderstood words.
Most of the IELTS scores of Chinese students are in the range of 5-7, especially the few with high scores and the few with low scores. So, for students, 6 is the middle score.
IELTS oral 6 points means that there is no big problem in communication, and most of the topics can be discussed in depth, but there are often some obstacles in communication on difficult topics. In other words, there will be no big problem in daily life of IELTS in foreign countries, but there will be some difficulties in academic life. For example, for students who want to go abroad to study medicine, the score of 6 points has no big problem in eating, living and traveling in foreign countries, but it is relatively difficult in terms of medical terminology.
Many foreign universities require applicants to have an IELTS score of more than 6 when they enroll undergraduate or graduate students. For Non-English Major applicants, IELTS 6 is a fairly good score. If your language score is IELTS 6, studying abroad can save a lot of language costs.
IELTS score is the arithmetic average of all individual scores in IELTS test. The highest single score is 9 and the lowest is 0. Therefore, the final scores of candidates will be all rounded or half. If the average score is less than 0.25, it will be rounded to the whole score; if the average score is greater than or equal to 0.25 and less than 0.75, it will be rounded to the half score; if the average score is greater than or equal to 0.75, it will be rounded to the next whole score.
For a simple example, this student has 6.5 listening, 6.5 reading, 5.5 writing and 6 speaking with a total score of 24.5. So the average score is 6.125. So the final IELTS score of this student is 6.
To sum up, IELTS 6 is a relatively basic IELTS score. If the students' requirements are higher, it is difficult for them to increase their IELTS 6 score to IELTS 7 score. It is suggested that students can participate in IELTS related training courses.
