Let’s look at one of the key criteria in the IELTS Speaking test and IELTS Writing test, which is worth 25% of your total score. There are two aspects to this particular criteria as it covers both ‘range’ and ‘accuracy’. But what is the difference between the two? The idea of grammar accuracy is very familiar to many learners of language. In IELTS, the bands are separated according to firstly how many grammar errors are made. At the top bands from 7 to 9, a speaker or writer should only make a few, occasional or rare errors. In the middle bands like from 4 to 6, grammar mistakes are more frequent, but the difference with band 6 is that the mistakes do not impact on the writer’s or speaker’s message from coming through.
