Hi there! I’ll address your queries one by one:

1. Yes, you are correct that you can use a pencil for the Listening and Reading sections of the IELTS exam. For the Writing section, you are also allowed to use a pencil. In fact, using a pencil is recommended as it allows you to easily erase and correct any mistakes you may make during the Writing section.

2. Achieving a band 8-9 score also depends on your existing English language proficiency, your ability to address the specific requirements of each question, and your test-taking skills on the day of the exam.

You should just keep it simple and stick to the system that you’re most comfortable with!

In reply to Ruth Chambers.

Ok thanks.

What about inverting commas and decimal points? E.G: 1,000,000 in the UK/US is 1.000.000 elsewhere (and vice versa : 1.50 in UK/US = 1,50 elsewhere)…..

Does anyone know if you can CROSS the number 7 (as the vast majority of the world does) or would that be considered to be (a) wrong (answer).
