IELTS Examiners Care About 1 Thing

Want to improve your IELTS Writing score? A good strategy is to focus more on IELTS Writing Task 1 than Task 2. Most students overlook Task 1, but it greatly impacts your score.
Try doing Task 2 first, complete it properly in 40 minutes, and then do Task 1 in 20 minutes.
This forces you to focus on the data quickly, and summarise it, which is exactly what they want you to do for IELTS Writing Task 1 Academic.

[@rajkamal8192]

This actually worked for me, and it saves time for writing Task 2.

[@Visca.el.Barca.8]

If you write task 2 first, how it saves your time?

[@berkcelik08]

@@Visca.el.Barca.8probably because of analyzing task 1 data. It takes time to make a decision what data to select and make groups but task 2 only gives you a topic and write your essay depending only on your opinions and writing skills about how fast and creative you are. It's totally based on you but task 1 requires information from the chart or tables which needs time to comprehend them

[@sarmilabaniya94]

same happen to me

[@minhquangnguyen5828]

I did task 1 last, for the first time, and it was on test day too. I took a huge risk, and your tip actually worked. Got a 8.5 writing and 8.5 overall, thank you so much!

[@shakhrizada2929]

How you prepared for writing,did you use model answers?

[@minhquangnguyen5828]

@@shakhrizada2929 i studied lexical resources very heavily for the most common topics. Altho I couldnt use a lot of it, many could be applied for other topics as well, including the one on my test day. imo model answers are not worth learning. You want to focus on a natural way of developing your own ideas. Memorizing sample essays can be mundane, monotonous, requires a lot of efforts while being superfluous. also, a good trick is to write your conclusion with a lot of synonyms, so as to effectively recapitulate what you have demonstrated in the body paragraphs. It's best to write as concise as possible, and give a lot of examples too.

What to do first task 2 then task 1 ?

[@adorno4779]

I wrote IELTS exam recently. And i listened to this video and wrote task 2 first and ended up having no time to complete task 1and left it incomplete. I ended up getting a band score of 7 in writing . So i don't think this method will work for all. It didn't work for me. Task 1 requires analysis of data and it's more time consuming. I don't personally believe this trick is good. What works for one person might not work for the next. Please do practice tests under a timer and find out what works for you and follow it.

[@nguyentuongvy2204]

That's exactly thing I told my IELTS teacher but he didn't listen. Only report key features in task 1 instead of writing everything about the chart. Well, he just ignored my words and I quit his class after 2 months.

[@Fermistine]

this is true during the 1st attempt I gave task 1 very well and gave task 2 in less time but decent I expected to get 6-6.5 but I got 5 band. But on the second attempt gave my task 2 in 45m 1st 10m part 1 and I've written it very short less than the 150-word count mark and I scored 6 band in writing

Thank you for sharing your experiences with your two attempts! Congratulations on getting Band 6 in Writing. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

[@sukhdevgill5340]

Can you tell me in brief

[@Fermistine]

@@sukhdevgill5340 so task 1 in writing is the easiest consider to task 2 since in task 1 they give you all the data then youre job is to look at the data and expand it in essay so it should be easy and most of the people attempt part 1 then they go for 2 which i did in my first attempt then in 2nd attempt i attempted part 2 first around 40 min then gave my part 1 around less than 10min and i ended up scoring 6.5 in writting.

​@@sukhdevgill5340 i thought after completing my exam that i would be scoring less in writing part 1 writing cause ive written less than the word count

[@quockhaipham5488]

I had taken the IELTS test 4 times, getting 6.5, 6.5, 7, 7.5 in writing. personally, I always do task 1 first as it requires my brain to analyse data and think logically. Sometimes the data in task 1 is so tricky that I might not comprehend it in a limited time, especially if I do it at the end of the test. meanwhile, task 2 always revolves around topics related to social interest and offers more freedom for you to express your personal opinion (i think it's easier) rather than emphasize data accuracy.
