Accurate answers for IELTS Hello everybody! I'm preparing for the IELTS and I'd like to enquire about the way whereby examiners correct the answers. I did the following exercise from my workbook, however, when I check the answer key and compare it with what I've written, I notice some differences between them (some words are missing or I put more words, but without getting off the right answer). Example (MA= my answer; AS= answer sheet): Answer the questions below. Choose NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS from the passage for each question: 1. What aspect of shopping causes dopamine to be released? MA: The anticipation; AS: Anticipation. 2. What research method did Gregory Berns use in his work? MA: Scan studies; AS: Brain scan studies. My point is: would I score less marks just because I didn't answer exactly the same as expected by the British Council (the exam organizer institution)?

1. You would get full marks for this. The marks cheme allows for the inclusion of articles, providing you go don't exceed the word limit. 2. You would also get full marks for this, providing the fuller answer which you gave is correct - i.e. if the text said that these scan studies focused on the brain. It wasn't necessary to include the word 'brain' in your answer, but you wouldn't be penalised for doing so. I hope that helps.

Yes. You did not write the sample passage, so I can't tell you why each answer is right or wrong, but word order and choice, and "the" are VERY important , so I would assume your answers are wrong.
