Band 6+: What do you do?

Your pronunciation is average. It is understandable but not always accurate. Focusing on the rhythm and stress patterns of English could prove beneficial.

The answer directly addresses the question and provides relevant details regarding the subjects being studied and the motivation behind them. To improve the score and move toward a band 9, consider expanding on the response by mentioning the level of study (e.g., high school or university) or briefly elaborating on what those specific goals are. This would demonstrate a greater willingness to elaborate, which is a key characteristic of higher-band responses. The response could be expanded as it currently feels quite brief.

The answer is direct and coherent, but it is very brief. For IELTS Speaking Part 1, you should aim to extend your answers slightly more. Instead of just listing subjects, you could mention what year of study you are in or why these specific subjects are important for your future career to improve the flow and length.

The vocabulary used is very basic (e.g., 'student', 'study', 'help', 'goals'). Additionally, there was a significant phonetic error in the raw transcript ('buzzer time' instead of 'business'), which suggests a lack of clarity in pronunciation or word choice. To improve, try using more academic or specific terms, such as 'pursuing a degree in...', 'major in...', or 'essential for my professional development'. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

The grammar is accurate but extremely simple. You only used a basic present simple structure. To reach a higher band, you need to demonstrate a range of structures, such as complex sentences using subordinating conjunctions (e.g., 'Since I want to become an entrepreneur, I focus heavily on business and math') or present continuous to describe current activities.
