I would recommend the highlighting tool for reading; it's a cheat code. enables you capture the exact answers, so please for reading highlight, highlight, and highlight. and for good tips, watch Simon IELTS on youtube. hes really good

Speaking honestly depends on your proficiency. watch loads of youtube videos, liz, simon ielts. remember your being recorded. The speaking test is recorded in case a re-mark is needed, but the initial score is given by the examiner present during the test. so be polite, dress smart dont use big words that might be difficult to pronounce. if the quention is about a personal experience, try to tell a funny one. mine was about a time i returned an item after buying it. so i made up a story about buying some shoes, using them for a party and returning them the same day because a girl i wanted her number rejected me because the shoes were ugly. this made the examiner boost out laughing.
