For a long time, there has been a legend about roast duck in big cities Oral IELTS will be scored 。 In particular, the examination center of Beijing Foreign Studies University is the tomb of oral English examination. Therefore, many roast ducks decided to leave their hometown and travel to Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Henan and other places when choosing an IELTS test site. They hoped that their spoken English could be 0.5 points higher than that, and then they could get an offer from their favorite school.

There are quite convincing reasons behind this legend. After all, the oral test is the examiners' subjective scoring. If the examinees before and after you perform very well, it naturally appears that your level is limited. However, if the level of the examinees in the same examination room is very limited before, it will naturally show their uniqueness, so as to obtain the ideal score. Therefore, the more backward the English education level is, the more popular the roast duck is.

That sounds quite reasonable. However, Xiao Bian has to say that this is actually a consolation for all the roast ducks, and the choice of examination sites has little impact on the results.

First of all, this conclusion originates from Xiao Bian's own experience. When I decided to go abroad, I was also afraid that I would not get enough marks, so I applied for two IELTS exams in succession: one in Beijing and one in Zhengzhou. However, the facts proved that it was useless. The oral scores of the two exams were exactly the same.

Secondly, this conclusion comes from the experience of more than 400 IELTS one-on-one students. These students come from all over the country and have chosen IELTS test sites all over the country. However, their scores were not affected by the examination sites. Students with the same level at ordinary times, no matter where the examination site is, their final scores are almost the same.

Finally, this conclusion comes from a small compilation IELTS Oral Scoring Standard Research. Although the examiners of the oral test are individuals with seven emotions and six desires and subjective thoughts, the scoring standard of the oral test is objective. The official IELTS has made very detailed regulations on the ability represented by each score. The examiner's personal operating space is really small. If you think that he really lowered his score, we can also take the way of appeal.

Therefore, the question of which IELTS test point to choose is a fake question. At least, all the test centers in China are the same. If you choose a remote test site, the roast ducks will get nothing but vague comfort.

However, choosing a foreign test site can really affect your scores. For more information about foreign examination sites, please see the breakdown of our future articles.
