Anyone want to practice together ?? My exam is on 10 Feb.

Hello! I would like to ask fellow test takers. Anyone from this sub who took the exam in Riyadh (or any part of KSA)? how was the experience? how long it took before receiving the results?

I hope someone can share their story.

Despite the number of correct answers when I was practicing at home,my performance was miserable yesterday. Why is this the case. I wasn't excited too much. Oftentimes I find it much easier to deal with stress than many other people. But I did self study. If knew that test perform like yesterday, I would never take it. Perhaps I'm better when Im alone and miserable with others. I totally lost my mind I don't know if I secured 7 barely. I took 6.5last year it is embarrassing progress. Because it could be 6.5again based on guesses. I'm pissed of after wasting so much time on it. I hate it.

Studied using Ielts flex that came with british council registration and the stimuler app, which I paid around 8 dollars for a month for speaking. Also used chatgpt for essay writing (my scores are usually band 5-6 before my exams hence i had a lot of hesitations but proceeded anyway).

I’m a filipino, non-native speaker btw. Thanks guys!!!

Hi,

In the writing task 1 and task 2, is better to write more than one paragraph like

Introduction then leave a space and start with paragraph 1 etc.. or write all of them in the same paragraph without spacing?

I gave my test yesterday and got my result today! I'm happy with overall 7.5 band in my first attempt!

Hey I am from India & I have very little time to prepare for the speaking is there anyone who want to study together. Need a partner who is enthusiastic and practice regularly????

All thanks to the community.

Why "The Brooklyn project team carries out their assessment of stores without the owner’s knowledge" is a TRUE statement? Doesn’t the text tell us about the "storekeeper’s permission"?

I just have 15 days though.. if anyone have the same timeline or just want to practice for the exam can join me…

As tomorrow is my exam and i am so scared if i will mess things up. I am even thinking about what if i zone out during listening test. My test is computer based and i am so used to doing mock in my laptop, i might not be able to use keyboard provided in center with same efficiency. Even smallest things are making me nervous. Any advice so i can be calm during this time

Hi everyone! My results came and I’m pretty satisfied, although I would’ve loved to get an 8.5. I only prepared for 10 days or so though, so I’m not that let down. Also, I still have enough to enroll in University.

After doing the speaking, I was SURE it would’ve ruined my score, as the examiner was very straight-faced, no nod nor smile, and barely saluted me at the beginning and the end of the test. Well, nevermind, I’ll do better next time!

Reading is usually my strongest skill when it comes to English, so I don't know how to feel about that result. Overall though, I'm satisfied with the scores, writing was what I feared the most and it went well!

Background info: I studied English in school and then through YouTube/books etc. I had about two weeks to prepare for the exam, which i did mostly with the help of Youtube and a few mock tests on the BC website.

If you have any questions I'll gladly answer them!

hey everyone, next tuesday ı’ll take the ielts but ı’m not sure that which style should ı take… Everyone suggest to me that take the exam on online but ı realize that I’m better reading on printed paper so what should ı do????

Actually I was waiting higher result (at least 6.5-7.0). I did at least 1 reading and 1 listening everday. Learn all sorts of essay. But could not generate amazing idea during exam. I do not know these shit result stems whether from what. I was shocked after this.

First attempt! I had literally 4 days of preparation because my time line was getting late for paper work. Its easy. The only trickiest part is the writing. Rest reading and listening are dependent on your practice and focus. And speaking ofc needs practice. Anyone who needs any advice can comment, i can help out :)

Cheers & good luck!

Guys i need a 7.5 in all parts and i’m so worried about the writing Any tips or advice would be appreciated specially on spelling Thanks in advance

Is there any IELTS-related website or platform where I can test all four modules? I am from Nepal, and if I want to take a test or practice, I have to pay a significant amount. Are there any simulators or software available that replicate the exact exam scenario?

Hi, I've stopped working on my ielts for a while to finish my GED. Now that I've done that, I want to know what's the best way to get back on track.

My current english level is A2 or maybe quite high than it and I am going to take my IELTS exam. I have 2 months. I am suffering with spelling and remembering the grammar and I don’t have advanced vocabulary. Please suggest me way to go into the preparation flow, any tips,hints

Hi, guys. I wanna find someone who don't afraid to talking with strangers. My level is between A2 and B1.

Hello everyone! I’m thinking of scheduling my IELTS exam around mid to late March and I’m really struggling with writing. I sometimes don’t have enough ideas to be able to write 250 words in Task 2 and I need some advice on how to think of more words. I want at least a band 7 on writing but whenever I ask chat GPT to check my writing it always says band 6 😢. Any tips to improve or things I should be careful about will be highly appreciated!!

All commonly used synonyms tips and words will really help too!

Actually, I knew some English((no no😹) my level is roughly b1(?? But in British council app speaking and etc was b2(??? So I’m confused coz some of my friends got 5.5, 7.5, 7 etc. As I understood from their speech, it is easier to get 6 or 6+ if you knew the format of IELTS. But I have a fear There are 5-6 weeks till my exam and I just do not know what i should do. Yes, there are many resources and guides, everything is enough but at the same time it is too much even i just 🥴😵‍💫😵‍💫🤒 I need ielts for my exam as UBT(like SAT) Should I start from vocabulary and upgrading my english level(as in solo leveling😅😂) or prepare for one of Ielts sections? I can learn english about 2-3 hours, but I have also other profile subjects which I have to learn🥲 To study for free at least I have to get more than 130+ from 140 in UBT exam(there are 5 subjects where 3 of them constantly while the another ones depends from profession you have chosen. In mu situation they are international history and engl/german/french, but If i have an ielts with 6.0+ band, I will automatically get 50/50🤩. But i have only 3 months until my exam, i started to prepare for this subjects only 2 weeks ago (i’ve been looking for informatics and mathematics for 6 months, but I’d realised IT sphere is not about me)) So can I be sure to get 6+ after a month practice? Also, can I use chat gpt as a tutor in writing and speaking? Everyone in this community inspires me, it is my first post(?). I’m really sorry if I’ve made any mistakes. Thank u very much for reading this useless post😅🥹❤️👻 Can I trust British councillors app exam??

Upon writing, I read the title and everything and began typing away.

To my left sat an early 30 yo woman, which started aggressively typing away on her keyboard. Then, the train of thought and ideas I have all for my part 2 writing just went out the window.

The words that came into my mind would just disappear with the absurdly loud "click" to my left, followed by a "clack" and now I'm lost at what I wanted to write in the first place. So to u, thank you ❤️.

My score did not change, I requested remark for IELTS GT- for writing and speaking section.

Took four days, I had skewed scores ranging from 6.5 to 9.

Sharing experience for others. I would now say probability of change is low :)

Don’t waste your money and time!!

I did my ielts at IDP center and it was kinda cool, but with some drawbacks. I booked my speaking part at 12.20 pm, but in center they told me that they need to delay my session in 2 hours that will start at 14.20. So I got there at 14.00 pm and again I got the same words but in this time it was only for 1 hour instead of 2. I waited and got my registration done.

In speaking part 1, I got some topics about Perfume and Fishing, for me it was terrible, because I'm not into perfumes as well as fishing, and I talked a little bit about everything, like "I really like wearing a perfume with coffee notes etc." However, the second part was kinda good, there was a topic about friendship and why people lose their contacts with old friends, and the third part was a continue of friendship.

I was so stressed out, that my session was delayed two times and it seems that messed up a lot, idk what to do, except just wait for results.

I am currently contemplating to take IELTS for the second time as I am in my final year of university studies and I think English language skills would be a huge asset. I took my first one in 2021 when I was a fresh highschool graduate, and got reading 8.5, writing 6.5, listening 8.5 and speaking 6.5 (overall 7.5). I have been studying in a very international campus for my bachelor degree and have been speaking English as a majority of my university life. I can read big fiction books (500+ pages) entirely for entertainment and with ease, watch movies and shows without any subtitles etc that I believe I can boost my score up to 8.5+. Do you guys think that it would be worth it, money-wise and effort-wise?
