how to improve writing skills for ielts

Improve in the order the exam marks you. Answer the whole question first, because a misread task caps the score whatever your grammar is like. Then work on organisation with one idea per paragraph and reference words instead of extra connectors. Then widen vocabulary with topic collocations, and finally audit recurring grammar errors in your own sentences.

Reading a band 7 sample next to a band 9 sample of the same task type shows the gap faster than any tip list. Note the features that appear only in the higher band, then add one of them, such as an overview sentence or a clearer position, to your next essay.
