advice for taking ielts test

[vkhu]

Sorry guys, I don't know where else to put this thread. Please don't delete it if this is the wrong section.


So I'm taking an ielts test next month and I was wondering if you have any tips or advice for me. It can be anything, about the 4 skills or about how to keep calm in the test room, anything at all.


Your help is greatly appreciated, especially if it's from your own experience


Also, I'm running dangerously low on practice material. Anyone know any good book?

Are you using the Cambridge IELTS past papers books? You can see information here- Cambridge University Press (search with the term "cambridge ielts" and it will bring them up directly). You can get them on Amazon or any online bookstore.

I've already gone through all of them. What I need more now is advice on how to take the test. Any first hand tip?

What scores have you been getting and where are you getting lower scores?

my writing suck. I never got more than 6.5. Also, both my reading and listening can't surpass 7.0 either. Any tips on those?

I've put some listening practice tests and writing guides on here. Martin's IELTS Help There are also free worksheets/listening transcripts etc to download.
I hope IELTS students find them useful
