English academic path

Moving from fluent English to IELTS-ready writing

En

Learner: University applicant preparing from abroad

Exam goal: IELTS Academic or TOEFL iBT

The learner already speaks English well, but needs a specific band or score for admissions. The hard part is knowing why an essay stays below the target band.

I can speak English, but I need to know what is keeping my writing below Band 7.

The learner stops treating English fluency as the only goal and starts preparing for the scoring system the institution actually checks.
