IELTS Tip 2 Did you know that, when preparing for your IELTS test, it is equally important to practice not only your English reading, writing, speaking and listening but ALSO to learn about the IELTS test format. This means that you know exactly how the test is structured, the different elements and types of questions and how your answers are marked. Many students lose important marks because they haven't learnt enough about the test itself! With a professional IELTS teacher you can learn about the test format in detail and ensure that you are as comfortable as possible on test day and maximize your chances of getting that 6.5 band score or higher 🌈
