flactuation in Language test, what's the exact reason?

[santi_marlon]

Hello all,
most of the time, I've had considerable fluctuation in my IELTS' score
sometimes, I get 8 in reading and another time 6.5 or 7 and this procedure about listening 7.5 - 7 - 6.5 - 8
no consolidation has been made
what is/are the reasons(s) behind that?and how to tackle such this issue?
thanks

Are you talking about practice tests or the real exam?

I'm looking to find a way whether I'd able to stabilize or consolidate my score on a specific band

It also depends on how the practice tests are scored.. Are you marking it yourself or is it software generated.
Are you distracted/exhausted during certain tests while the "high" score ones you are relaxed.
Don't take tests immediately after you finish one series - No two listening and no two Reading together.

Overall, take a notebook and analyze your mistakes. Are you repeating certain types of mistakes. Is a particular accent causing an issue?

e "high" score ones you are relaxed.

I think that those I could be able to get complete score is much more simpler and easier rather than those I couldn't do.

No two listening and no two Reading together

Thanks for your advice

Here, is the by far the biggest problem, I get what you mean
you mean, have I had a same mistake over multiple test
Yes and NO
in one test I did perfect Yes/NO/NG (all questions I did correct) , but in another , half of them go wrongly
and I am not sure why
In one Listening test I do well MAP completing , in another one I lost some of them
and I do not know Why !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used this video to understand the logic to answer Y/N/NG and T/F/NG questions.

Listening is more anticipating what the answer will be before you hear it...so you have to read in advance, anticipate and write down the answer.
