IELTS test score – important change

As you all know, IELTS score consists of 4 parts: scores for Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking modules. Until now you could get half scores in Listening and Reading, but for Writing and Speaking you could only get whole bands (such as 6 or 7, but never 6.5).

From 1 July 2007, as IELTS official site www.ielts.org announced, Writing and Speaking will also be graded using half-scores, just like Reading and Listening. The reason for this change is to give students more accurate information on their skills. They also mentioned that students shouldn’t change a thing in the way they study.

Well, change like that demands further research – I am going to look for more information about this and once I learn more – I promise to share :)
