Passage
In advanced IELTS preparation, learners often confuse confidence with evidence. A pilot program asked learners to annotate each response with one explicit strength and one risk linked to official descriptors. Over four weeks, self-ratings became more conservative but more accurate. Those learners improved faster because revision decisions became targeted rather than emotional.
Tasks
- State the central claim in one sentence.
- Identify one explicit evidence line from the passage.
- Infer why conservative self-rating may improve outcomes.
How success is measured
You clearly separate claim, evidence, and inference with no overstatement.
