In this episode, ex-IELTS examiner Robert talks about how much vocabulary you need to score a Band 7 in the IELTS Exam.
Although vocabulary is important in listening and reading, about 25% of the total score in speaking and writing is for the lexical resource which is seen from two points of view: how extensive or wide your vocabulary is and how deep it is when it comes to particular topics.
It is important to understand the difference between being able to recognize a word, understand it in context and actually using that word in your speech or writing.
