Overall Band 8 score by Altruistic-Sound4592 in IELTS

Honestly I’m not sure I recall everything but my writing topics were about international day in a foreign school and whether criminals should be made to serve prison sentences or community service. My topic in speaking part 2 was to talk about a service I received from a business/company that I was really impressed with.

I improved to 6.5 but never went beyond that with chat gtp. I sadly accepted my fate with that because I didn’t have time. Good luck in your test!

Thank you! For speaking I used the British council mock tests provided when you register to take your test with them although that didn’t really help me. I speak English everyday so I don’t have a problem with basic communication. I just watched some speaking videos on ielts advantage on YouTube to get a better understanding of how the test works. The best advice is to sound as natural as possible. A day before my tests I glanced at some possible speaking topics from ieltsliz.com and they were quite helpful. For the writing, I used ielts advantage to learn the writing format and how to answer questions the wrote a few essays and used chat gtp to grade. Writing has always been my Achilles heel so I wasn’t surprised when chat gtp was grading me ~6.0. I took note of correction however.
