Common IELTS mistakes
The most common IELTS mistakes are about strategy, not English: running out of time in Reading because you read every word instead of scanning, under-writing on Writing Task 2 (it must be 250+ words), and memorizing Speaking answers that examiners can spot instantly. Many candidates also prep the wrong version (Academic vs. General Training). Appmo drills timing and scores your writing and speaking against the actual band descriptors.
Frequently asked questions
What IELTS score do I need?
It depends on the institution — most universities want an overall band of 6.5–7.0, with no single section below 6.0. Appmo helps you target the exact bands your program requires and shows where you're losing marks.
Academic or General Training IELTS — which should I take?
Academic is for university and professional registration; General Training is for work and migration. They share Listening and Speaking but differ in Reading and Writing. Appmo preps whichever one you name.
