Mat Clark – IELTS Speaking
22
In the past, because pronunciation scores were awarded 2-4-6-8, the absence of the score 7
meant that many candidates narrowly missed their target score of 6.5 or 7.0 simply because
their pronunciation score was 6.
Now it should be easier to score 6.5 or 7.0 if the candidate can score 7 for
pronunciation. Also, because there is a pronunciation score of 9, the requirements for a
pronunciation 8 have been lowered slightly; this means more candidates will be awarded a
score of 8 for pronunciation. It should also be remembered that some candidates will be
worse off under this new system of marking. There will be situations where examiners will
award a 5 for pronunciation when in the older system (2-4-6-8) the score would have been
6.
