I HATE IELTS!!! IELTS is driving me mad!!! I got an overall mark of 7 without preparation 2 years ago (Listening 8, Reading 7, Writing 6, Speaking 6) and now I need 7 for both writing and speaking in order to get an unconditional offer from Leiden University in Netherland. Right now I’m spending a lot of my precious time, which could be used for reading and learning other languages, preparing for the IELTS… I don’t know whether it is a problem of thinking method or not, it is really difficult for Chinese people to get a 7 in writing. At least I find it hard. There’s a huge gap between band 6 and band 7 in IELTS writing and I don’t know whether I can make it in a short time. I don’t want to spend all my time doing IELTS preparation. I hope I can get it over with before next year. Wish me luck!

Come on! More writing - you have to practise so you can get IELTS behind you. Otherwise you'll make a career of almost straight 7's

Yeah, the IELTS is crazy. So, how did it go -- did you get into Leiden University?

I don’t know whether it is due to our thought processes (a problem of thinking method) or not, but it is really difficult for Chinese people to score (get) a 7 in writing. At least, I find it hard. There’s a huge gap between band 6 and band 7 in IELTS writing and I don’t know whether I can make/bridge it in such a short time/timespan. I don’t want to spend all my time doing IELTS preparation and (. I) hope I can just get it over with before next year.
Wish me luck!
