Do you want to improve your IELTS band score quickly? It doesn’t matter if you’re taking the Academic or General Training version of the test, one of the best strategies is to learn a new advanced-level word every day. If you have a broader, better vocabulary, this will impact how well you do on the exam, specifically on the IELTS reading, IELTS writing, and IELTS speaking sections. If you’re able to improve your vocabulary and spell the words correctly, you’ll get higher points for “Lexical Resource”, which is one of the four main grading criteria for both the IELTS Academic and General Training versions of the exam.
