I need a couple of good advises for passing the IETLS test. Hi! I'm going to pass the IELTS test next year. I thought it would be good idea to make some research before. Please give me a couple of advises how to train for this exam for any aspects (format, reading, listening and especially writing and speaking). Thanks a lot in advance!

From preparing students for the test, here are a couple of things I suggest you do apart from the usual study: - read a lot. Students often have problems with collocations and set phrases, so your best best is to see them in use. - get a list of IELTS practice questions (you can search these online) and find an English speaker with whom to practise them. Just say, "hey, I have an IELTS test soon and I have a handful of practice questions. Could you listen to my answer and give me some feedback?" :) You don't need a native English speaker; just any advanced speaker can help you. - be super-strict with your writing. Practise writing to the word-limit and make yourself capable of recognising what 250 words of your own writing looks like. A common mistake is to write too little or (worse) too much. Best of all, you can do a lot of this on italki. ^^
