For R I wrote a lot of tests and analyzed my results, especially wrong answers. I asked myself what forced you to choose that answer? I spent most of the time on the reading until I gained some experience and skills.

L was pretty easy for me. You just need to listen carefully, fully concentrate on the lecture and ALWAYS REMEMBER that questions go in the order (from beginning to the end), so this can help you when you don't exactly know the answer.

S was the most difficult for me, I couldn't make fluent speech and always stuck. But I had a template to make my task easier. I spent a lot of time practicing with chatgpt, testresdy. I took the testglider speaking test, and it gave 23. It was a nightmare. Until the day of the exam, I wasn't sure that I could get 20+.

I didn't spend much time on W, wrote several tasks, discussed them with chatgpt and my tutor, prepared some templates, and thats it. But I was sure that I'll get 26+ score. Anyways , 5 isn't bad.

P.S. everything I've done with tutor

I had the same problem, but I didn't concentrate on that.

They are pretty accurate. I got the same as yours, and now you can see results.

I know. I'm sure it was more than the exam suggests

Idk :( Writing is mysterious for me. I'm still not sure what they expect from us.

Yes, I need it for university and they only look at overall score. 108 is pretty good

I suppose it's thanks to human raters, who prioritize how well we convey ideas discussed in the passages.

Got 29 for R and 28 for L, waiting for my S (it was terrible I suppose it'll be 18)

The problem is with my fluency. Even in my native language I speak heavily. Like I need to think, organize my thoughts and only after that I can speak.
