Why Most IELTS Candidates Plateau at Band 6.5 (And How to Break Through)
If you're stuck between Band 6.0 and 7.0 on the IELTS Speaking test, the approach you're taking is probably broken.
The 3 Reasons You're Stuck
1. You're preparing answers, not skills
Memorizing responses gives you a false sense of security. Band 8 speakers have frameworks that work for ANY question.
2. You're ignoring 25% of your score
Pronunciation is weighted equally with grammar, vocabulary, and fluency. Yet most candidates spend less than 5% of their prep time on it.
3. You're practicing quantity over quality
Doing 100 practice questions poorly is worse than doing 10 with deliberate focus, recording, and self-assessment.
