Most Band 9 Students Use These 20 Words

Do you struggle to write a Band 7+ essay or IELTS Vocabulary? Do you try to use as many ‘high-level’ words as possible in your essays? Do you try to avoid repeating a word you’ve already used to avoid a low score? Have you received advice from a teacher or an online video that hasn’t improved your score?

We recently analysed 100 Task 2 essays our VIP students wrote that achieved a Band 7, 8 or 9. The data showed the most commonly used words in these essays, and the results might surprise you. To see what they were, watch the video above.

IELTS Vocabulary is not assessed as a separate module on the test but does comprise 25% of your total score on the Writing and Speaking tests, and is therefore essential. The examiners will assess your ability to use a wide range of appropriate vocabulary and use those words accurately.

I got: 8.0 L | 8.5 R | 7 W | 7 S in Academic, thanks to IELTS Advantage. That was my second time taking the exam and on the first try I scored 7.0 L; 7.5 R; 5.5 W; 6.5 S (at that time I was preparing with another youtube channel and I thought that I was well-prepared)... After that, I found IELTS Advantage and watched all their youtube videos, also read all the articles on the website. The Writing part was the hardest for me because I had always over-complicated things when writing. After listening to Chris' advices and applying them in practice I managed to succeed! I'm so happy with my score! Thank you, Chris!

It's so hard to find genuinely useful content when it comes to Ielts training and tips. It is definitely a good video. I'm wondering if you have any video that might guide people with essay writing especially when they are in a time crunch, for example, some working professionals who barely get an hour or two to spend on learning. It'd be a great help to me as well.

[bahatij]
