Dear members, I would like to clarify certain doubts regarding IELTS writing and speaking. I had taken my IELTS academic module on 16th of May 2015. Previously I had taken IELTS GT in 2013,and have achieved the following bands: L-8.5/R-8.5/W-6.5/S-7=7.5.
This year I took IELTS academic to get resisted with Canadian nursing council. I need R-6.5/W-7/S-7/L-7.5. I am sure about my listening and reading. I did well in those parts. From my previous experience I assume that I am weak in academic writing.
In my speaking, I did well in my section 1, but was little confused as the examiner rushed up with questions, she started asking before I have completed my answers. IN section 2, I received a topic on an 'eduction series I have watched'. I talked well but at the end I ran out of content and used some sounds like 'ahh/umm' at least twice before ending my speech. In section 3,topics were pretty dry,based on T.V and advertisements. However,I managed talking fluently. But, I feel like I spoke very fast,may be I was nervous. But, I used quiet a variety of less common words. SO,my question is will those hesitations I had during the section 2, i.e, the sounds I made, will affect my band badly? I need band 7.
In my writing, I got an easy topic in both the tasks. I have achieved the task response in both,especially task 2. My queries are,I wrote 160-170 words only in task1. And, I made two spelling errors in both the tasks,i.e, one in each ( respondent- respondant; Alleviate- aelivate). Besides that, I assume I have progressed logically in paragraphs and have not made any major mistakes in punctuations or grammar.
So,depending upon the information I have given here, please suggest me how badly will the mistakes I have done would affect me? I cannot afford taking up another IELTS, as I need 7 in both speaking and writing.
I thank you in advance for the valuable help you are doing for me.
Thanks a lot.
