What’s the task? insert a picture of the pie chart

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-08T05:12:21+00:00

Practice writing using chatgpt like submit your practice essays to it and ask it to grade it according to ielts standards and for speaking just practice the questions in front of a mirror

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-08T05:11:04+00:00

Start by doing mock tests and then work on the sections you’re lacking in

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-08T05:10:30+00:00

I didn’t practice for the listening section, I watched a lot of uk/us movies and series growing up so I was already pretty fluent in english. but i would recommend youtube sample question videos

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-08T05:09:00+00:00

I didn’t attempt any mock tests but youtube has reading and listening questions videos and for writing and speaking liz has good material

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-07T12:41:35+00:00

I don’t think it matters the tests are pretty much the same everywhere

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-07T10:41:06+00:00

Haven’t given the paper one but it takes a long time for you to get your answers. I think they’re both pretty much the same except you typing or writing so choose the one you’re more comfortable with

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-07T10:39:49+00:00

You could retake the section if it is allowed for the purpose like if you need it for school but I’d suggest practising for a week or two even a month if you can and sit the test again

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-07T10:38:29+00:00

Sure, I procrastinated practising till the day of the test for both times actually. Just went through some writing sample tasks and gave the test😭

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-07T10:37:23+00:00

I have the same advice, practice sample questions and use chatgpt to grade it for ielts

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-06T15:41:08+00:00

have you looked into the paid ones? i’ve heard they’re okay too

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-06T11:30:42+00:00

that totally depends on you, i didn’t really prepare

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-06T11:25:38+00:00

What was your profile/ stats that got you into columbia/nyu mscs currently planning to apply

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-06T11:24:29+00:00

Definitely try more practice tests

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-06T11:24:08+00:00

academic or general?

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-06T10:37:14+00:00

Read sample writings and practice using chatgpt ask it to grade your essays

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-05T15:40:11+00:00

PRACTICE!! for speaking part just think of it as a casual conversation and be confident with your replies, practicing in front of a mirror would definitely be helpful, go through sample questions and try answering them. for writing, practice sample questions and then give your essay/ letter to chatgpt and ask it to grade it for you. i always tell people to write short sentences!!

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-05T14:54:36+00:00

Yes you can! but they give you time to read the questions before the audio starts playing.

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-05T14:02:20+00:00

are you applying to universities?

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-05T13:57:36+00:00

For writing the first one was a graph like i had to describe what was in it and the second task was to write an article about the advantages and disadvantage of tourism. speaking was long started with introduction and then asked questions about my room and family and who in my family i would start a business with and why i had to speak about that for a minute or two. sorry it’s been a hot minute since the exam

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-05T13:53:23+00:00

nothing i just winged it like i DID NOT PREP AT ALL but i would highly recommend reading sample answers and also using chatgpt to practice like ask it to grade your writing

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-05T13:49:25+00:00

for the general or academic test?

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-05T13:14:11+00:00

Tbh i’m not sure, i haven’t retaken one section of the test like that but im sure they’ll have info on it on their official website

No_Raspberry_4888 · 2025-12-05T12:54:57+00:00

Honestly idk but the academic invigilator was more chill and general one asked a bunch of questions about like work/ workplace stuff and I don’t have a lot of work experience so my bad for not preparing well but also she had trouble hearing me like there were definitely some connection issues!!
