I just took the IELTS. How many questions out of 40 will I have to get right in order for me to get the Band 7.5 in the listening part since they changed the IELTS listening band requirement to 7.5?
Also, I always thought I would o well in speaking. However, they asked me to talk about pollution and its effects and I got kind of surprised. How hard is it to get band 6.5 in speaking since they changed the speaking band requirement to 6.5?

Thank you.

Thanks. But how hard are they on grading it on the speaking part?

Thanks.

I heard that if you are able to understand the question they ask and they are able to understand you and see that you can actually communicate in English without difficulties, you should be fine. It is not hard to get 6.5 in speaking if you can actually speak the language.
It is just my two sense. Any other opinion?
