The Ultimate Guide to IELTS Bar Charts

April 25, 2023 • Shelly Cornick and Nick Lone

We have spoken in depth on the podcast about IELTS maps, and IELTS line graphs before, but today it is the turn of IELTS bar charts. I would say of all the possible charts that you could be given on your exam day, IELTS bar charts are the most versatile. Why? Well, not only can they be used to represent change or to show comparisons individually, but they can also be used to show changes without time! Intrigued? You should be!

In this episode, Nick and I will clearly explain

how you should look for the key features in both change and compare IELTS bar charts
how you can organise the items on IELTS bar bar charts into logical specific details paragraphs
how you should approach writing the specific details paragraphs i.e. what language you should use and which information you should present first
how you should tackle IELTS bar charts that ask you to compare different age groups

Plus, we will look at charts that do not follow the usual pattern so that you can be prepared for all IELTS bar charts on your exam day.
