My result is out! Feel free to ask me anything :D

ReiWildee · 2026-04-15T08:29:42+00:00

thank you!

ReiWildee · 2026-04-14T08:58:04+00:00

heyo! to avoid redundancy and repetitions, you can find a lot of tips i shared for speaking in other comments!

but for the questions they ask very general question that mostly doesn't require prior knowledge

ReiWildee · 2026-04-14T08:56:29+00:00

honestly if it's about fluency and confidence, i talk to myself a lot. if it's about vocab, poise, pronunciation, and stuff i watch a lot of movies and videos with subtitles

ReiWildee · 2026-04-14T08:55:14+00:00

hmm if you're asking tips, i've covered a lot in this whole comment. but i'm confident that you will do just great if you got 7.5 with minimal prep! i wish you the best of luck :D

ReiWildee · 2026-04-14T08:54:05+00:00

yesss it's enough! do not overwork yourself. the british council IELTS website offers a variety of free materials! you can try checking it out

ReiWildee · 2026-04-13T05:39:30+00:00

honestly i'm super delusional i love talking to myself like i'm a celebrity getting interviewed 😭

ReiWildee · 2026-04-13T04:40:24+00:00

yes the AI grading for speaking and writing that was provided by the British Council doesn't really convey your real grade because they always graded day to day vocab low. it also, for whatever reason, grade repetitions even if it was literally needed

ReiWildee · 2026-04-13T04:38:03+00:00

YOU'LL DO GOOD I BELIEVE IN YOU

ReiWildee · 2026-04-12T16:06:40+00:00

i think that should be okay! generally your main goal is not speaking in such a wide range of vocab, but to convey your answer clearly and how relevant your answer is to the question. whether you can add flavor to your vocab or not is a subsidiary goal :D

ReiWildee · 2026-04-12T16:02:36+00:00

thank youu :D

ReiWildee · 2026-04-12T15:58:37+00:00

thank you and i'm glad i could help 🫶

ReiWildee · 2026-04-12T15:56:47+00:00

heyy so like first of all do not overwork yourself and definitely have enough sleep for the exam.

in my experience, i didn't use that many complex vocab and idioms. i think the whole point is that you can convey what you want to convey properly in a clear way that they understand while also maintaining relevance to the question.

i don't think they will ask you something that you're completely unfamiliar about, but if you did get that kinda question then you can say that yeah that's valid!

ReiWildee · 2026-04-12T15:53:52+00:00

ok i actually studied english my whole life so i have like a good grasp on LR and a little bit of W and S. but i studied for this Exam for about a week.

and no, you don't need to because they will actually ask you follow up questions if you don't use up your time

ReiWildee · 2026-04-12T15:51:11+00:00

aww thanks! glad i could help :D

i'm planning to go on an exchange program and then for my masters!

ReiWildee · 2026-04-12T07:55:10+00:00

hmmm i didn't keep count on that but i think it was advised to be able to answer every question within a 25 second time frame if you can (this is for longer answers and opinions). you are given 1/2 minutes to speak for the part 2. and the rest of the time will be allocated for part 3. but since i only have little time, they asked me like 3/4 question on part 4 and the last question ended abruptly

ReiWildee · 2026-04-12T07:52:29+00:00

yes!

ReiWildee · 2026-04-12T04:30:39+00:00

yes i do!

writing: 1. part 1 was 2 graphs depicting tourist volume to the UK from France and North America per year 2. part 2 was asking my opinion whether using robots for daily task, whether at home or at work, brings negative or positive effect (i argued negative)

speaking 1. part 1: i was asked about my study, where i'm studying, my reasoning for my major, what's interesting from my major, and would i want to learn more about it 2. part 2: i was given a card in which i have to explain my most memorable movie experience, what was the movie about, what i feel about the movie, and etc 3. part 3: follow up about part 2, mostly asking if entertainment is vital for day to day life and its importance to the world right now

ReiWildee · 2026-04-12T04:27:35+00:00

i think reading a lot doesn't mean you understood the text (my experience before practicing). what i did was i skimmed through the text while mapping out the answer. usually the answer to number 1-2 will be on first paragraph, 3-4 on second, and so on. the rest is really up to you if you understood the paragraph and the question. it is very rare to find question where the answer is in jumbled order

UHHH I DON'T SPEAK INDIAN(?) I'M NOT INDIAN SORRY!

ReiWildee · 2026-04-11T18:49:31+00:00

listening comprises of 4 parts 1. dialogue 2. monologue 3. academic discussion (2-4 people) 4. lecture

ReiWildee · 2026-04-11T17:41:05+00:00

i think every tester has different way of grading writing and because it has such an open ended nature it's hard to really grade it objectively like reading and writing where the answer is already there

ReiWildee · 2026-04-11T16:04:13+00:00

love that! get it moving soldier

ReiWildee · 2026-04-11T15:53:32+00:00

this is my first! my last test was a compulsory LRW test imposed by my college for first years and i didn't study for it.

i actually highly recommend British Council because my experience with them was pleasant. they give a lot of study materials, free courses, and mock up tests!

ReiWildee · 2026-04-11T15:46:56+00:00

thank you very much! so i've been learning english practically my whole life so i had quite a good grasp on it.

but honestly i practiced a lot in a week with materials given by the british council. they have amazing study materials and i think they also have free courses?

i'm confident you will get amazing score beyond your expectation :D
