This means you’re a “Modest User”
Here’s what you can do now:
If you didn’t get the score you needed, you might be able to improve it.
Test takers at Band 5 can typically listen to and process short stretches of speech to pick out discrete information, and can only somewhat follow detailed instructions. They can only understand directly-stated facts, attitudes, opinions and purposes in a limited way. They are also limited in their ability to pick out main ideas and infer implied meanings. In order to do this, they can keep short sections of what they have heard in their short-term memory. They can understand vocabulary relating to familiar and some less familiar topics.
Test takers at Band 4 typically have a limited ability to deal with straightforward factual and opinion-based texts. Their ability to understand create meaning using vocabulary is generally within sentences rather than across sentences. They have some limited ability to understand directly stated information, opinions and arguments, and also some ability to extract key words from texts.
Test takers at this band are typically able to partly answer the question. There may be too much detail and no overview, or no data. Test takers can give their own point of view and some main ideas, although these may not lead to any conclusions. They can partly organise their writing, and can use some joining words, although these are wrongly used or over-used in places. The writing might repeat itself and the Task 2 might lack paragraphs. They have just enough vocabulary to answer the question, although spelling mistakes cause some difficulty for the reader. They are able to use some basic sentences correctly, and try some complex sentences, which often contain mistakes. Punctuation is sometimes faulty and the mistakes in grammar cause some difficulty for the reader.
Test takers at this band can typically keep speaking, but there may be frequent repetition, self-correction, slow speech, or hesitation to search for words or grammar. Speaking is not always clear and well linked, often with an overuse of certain linking words or phrases. Although they can talk fluently on simple topics, there may be problems with less familiar topics and language. They have enough vocabulary to talk about familiar and unfamiliar topics, but the range is limited, there are frequent errors, and there may be limited ability to paraphrase. They can use simple grammar structures, and these are quite accurate. There are not many complex grammar structures, these usually have errors, and may be difficult to understand. Pronunciation can be clear and effective, but there are often problems, and these may make test takers difficult to understand at times.
Test takers will receive one copy of their Test Report Form and can request up to 10 Test Report Forms free of charge to send directly to Recognising Organisations (courier charges may apply). Replacements cannot be issued.
