Target 9

🇨🇦 Planning to move to Canada through PR, study, or work? Your IELTS General Training Reading score can make a huge difference in your CRS points and overall application strength.

Many test takers stay stuck at Band 5.5–6.5 because they keep repeating the SAME reading mistakes without realizing it. 📚

🚨 Here are the 25 Most Common IELTS GT Reading Mistakes that stop candidates from reaching Band 7, Band 8, and higher:

❌ Reading every word slowly
❌ Poor time management in long passages
❌ Ignoring keywords and paraphrasing
❌ Spelling mistakes in answers
❌ Writing more words than allowed
❌ Confusing TRUE / FALSE / NOT GIVEN
❌ Not practicing with real IELTS GT-style questions
❌ Panic during matching headings and sentence completion tasks
❌ Weak vocabulary for workplace and social topics
❌ Guessing instead of using scanning techniques

✅ The good news? These mistakes can be fixed with the right IELTS General Training Reading practice, strategies, and structured preparation books.

If your dream is:
✔ Canada PR
✔ Study Visa Canada
✔ Work Permit Canada
✔ Express Entry
✔ Higher CRS Score

…then improving your IELTS Reading score is one of the fastest ways to move closer to your goal. 🇨🇦

📖 A good IELTS GT Reading book should help you:
