Will American words work well in ielts? Why do some people think ”people like you”?
I took the IELTS exam last Monday before I went home, and on the way home I started to remember to have written ‘color’ on one answer and then came to my mind I thought: Do I lose marks if I write the American spelling of words on the IELTS exam? Is it acceptable because I did not see anywhere making it clearly or not?
Both colors and either color are in a computer. How do you write a word? I also gave the exam on 3rd June 2017 in Teaneck, and asked the invigilator the same. Hope other candidates have success. She said write either, it’s fine.
The official IELTS website states (bolding is
mine): IELTS treats all test takers with the utmost fairness and respect by actively avoiding cultural bias, and accepting all standard varieties of native speakers including North American, British, Australian and New Zealand English.
Is
it really OK for style to be consistent? Once you have chosen a particular standard, you must adhere to
it. Please don’t forget to accept this standard as your own.
