There are some students who do not fancy the spotlight. These students do what is required and simply anticipate a moderate score. Whereas, there are some who tend to go the extra mile because they want the best result.
The IELTS score ranges from band 1 to band 9.

6 – Competent
7 – Good
8 – Very good
9 – Expert
