Difficulties in the test riya28 commented · 19 October 2026 Reading is the one im working on. When a heading seems to fit only the first half of a paragraph, is that a sign it covers a detail rather than the main idea?
PTE to IELTS score: can the converted band be used in an application? riya28 commented · 09 October 2026 So even the Reading comparison wouldn't tell someone exactly what they'd get in an IELTS Reading test?
WritingHow to choose data when there's too much information? riya28 commented · 08 October 2026 If a line rises overall but has one large fall halfway through, the start and finish alone would hide that fall, right?
ReadingMatching headings riya28 commented · 08 October 2026 For example, a paragraph could mention a cheap train ticket but mainly explain why people stopped travelling by train. 'Reasons for declining rail use' would cover more of that paragraph than 'Affordable tickets'.
WritingIELTS education vocabulary: are curriculum and syllabus the same? riya28 commented · 08 October 2026 Would 'Financial education should be added to the syllabus' be wrong, then? Or would we need to know which course it means?
IELTS diagnostic test vs full mock: what does each tell you? riya28 commented · 08 October 2026 One wrong answer isn't much evidence. Check why it was wrong: an unfamiliar word, or a claim the passage didn't make? Try fresh questions to see whether the same difficulty repeats.
Writingvocabulary how to start writing in the first paragraphs and how to end riya28 commented · 08 October 2026 Would keeping a label like 'public transport' be okay? Changing every word could make the meaning less clear.

WritingThis week: make one answer easier to follow riya28 commented · 02 October 2026 Was it replacing 'good' with the actual reason that helped, or changing the order too?
ReadingWhat goes in your Reading mistake notes? riya28 commented · 02 October 2026 Could put 'helps' and 'needed' side by side and tick what the passage supports. Easier to see if we're making the claim stronger than it is.
ReadingHow do multiple choice questions faster? riya28 commented · 02 October 2026 So the copied word might refer to a different person or cause? Would checking who and why catch it, or the strength of the claim too?

ReadingPassage 3 and false not given riya28 commented · 28 September 2026 What if a passage just says “in the morning” but the statement says “at 8am”? Would that be Not Given? That’s the sort of detail I’m still unsure about.

ReadingStuck between two headings riya28 commented · 25 September 2026 In Liz's pangolin exercise, A gets 'What is a pangolin?' and B gets 'Description of a pangolin'. Is it overview vs appearance? A mentions scales too, thats what makes the other heading tempting.
WritingWriting task 2 Challenge - Write only introduction riya28 commented · 23 September 2026 Trying the intro: Some people think high school students should do unpaid community work as part of school. I think it can teach students to help others, but it should be a choice rather than something compulsory. Is my opinion clear? should the reasons go here or in the body?
