Overall
Assessment
Putter's performance corresponds to an IELTS Band
Score of 5.5, indicating a profile between a "Modest"
and "Competent" user. The results show a distinct split in skills: a
clear ability to locate direct, factual information but a significant struggle
with tasks requiring deeper analysis, inference, and evaluation of complex
information. Consistent practice on specific weak areas is required to achieve
a Band 6.0 or higher.

Thematic
Insights & Core Skill Analysis
1. Strength: Locating Specific Details
- Insight: Putter
excels when asked to find specific, factual data points within a text.
- Evidence: The high
score in Note Completion (83.3%) demonstrates a strong
ability to scan for keywords and pull out names, numbers, and key terms
accurately.
2. Weakness: Evaluative and Inferential Reading
- Insight: There is a
critical difficulty in evaluating the truth value of statements against
the text.
- Evidence: The
extremely low scores in Identifying Information
(T/F/NG) (33.3%) and one Matching Features (0%)
task highlight a struggle to differentiate between what is false and what
is not mentioned, and to link abstract concepts (like opinions or
theories) to their source. This suggests a tendency to guess or make
flawed inferences.
3. Weakness: Structuring and Categorizing
Information
- Insight: Performance
drops significantly when information must be located and organized into a
structure.
- Evidence: The sharp
contrast between the high score in Note Completion and the low score in Table Completion (33.3%) is telling. Putter can
find data but struggles to understand the relationships between different
categories of information as presented in a table.
4. Inconsistent General Comprehension
- Insight: The ability
to understand the main ideas and arguments of a passage is developing but
not yet reliable.
- Evidence: The 50-60%
scores across all Multiple Choice and Summary Completion tasks show a 50/50 chance of
understanding the gist or choosing the correct summary point. This
indicates a vulnerability to plausible-sounding but incorrect
"distractor" options.
Priority
Action Plan for Improvement
- Master True/False/Not Given: This is the highest priority. Focus exclusively on understanding the
difference between a statement the text contradicts
(False) and a statement the text does not mention
(Not Given). Justify every answer with evidence from the passage.
- Systematize 'Matching' & 'Completion' Tasks:
- For Tables: Always analyze the column and row headings first to understand the
required relationships before searching for answers.
- For Matching Features: Scan and highlight all names/features in the passage before reading the questions. Then,
systematically match the text around each highlighted feature to the
correct option.
- Improve Active Reading: For Multiple Choice and Summary tasks, practice paraphrasing
paragraphs as you read. When reviewing, don't just find the right
answer—analyze and understand precisely why the other options are wrong to
better recognize traps.
