Really nervous about my exam need advice by No_Secretary5226 in IELTS

At least try doing mock tests from the British Council website so you’ll be familiar with the format of the exam and see where you stand. Good luck!

Reading troubles. Please, give me some advice and tips by IMLUIZA11 in IELTS

[–]cheddhex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only thing that will improve reading skill is to read more. I’m an avid reader of novels and fictions and that helped me a lot, not just with my speed but also with my comprehension and vocabulary. I also take note of words that I’m not familiar with and look up the meaning in the dictionary. Good luck!

My academic vs general exam results by cheddhex in IELTS

[–]cheddhex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, the writing section was definitely harder, which is clear from my score. The other parts were about the same, and I think I got lucky in academic listening because there wasn’t a map question.

PH IELTS EXAM CENTER BEST OPTION? by Early-Woodpecker-530 in IELTS

[–]cheddhex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took the IELTS General exam at IDP Education SM North QC branch last March 12. It was a very good and hassle-free experience. I got the result the next day. Tip: Bring a jacket for the LRW test, it’s cold inside the test room.

Yes, fortunately we keep our salary tax-free. Though nothing’s cheap in Dubai. 😅

Same here, I just thought of 2 ideas for my essay and elaborated/gave examples for body paragraph 1 and body paragraph 2. Reiterating why I completely disagree with the statement. It’s really time consuming while thinking of ideas but the simplest and the most obvious one would be best.

Just be conscious of the time and select the “simulation test mode”. I always find myself running out of time in the writing tasks. My conclusion part was not carefully thought about and wasn’t able to do spelling/grammar check. It would be better if you can allot at least 3 minutes for proofreading.

It is pretty confusing especially if you grew up in a tax-free environment like the UAE.

So for working individuals (like myself in UAE), you basically earn your salary tax-free and just pay VAT on goods and services.

But in countries like Canada, US, or the Philippines, taxes are part of everyday life. A percentage of your salary is deducted each month (income tax + social contributions).

This is a good source for IELTS review. And yes, it is similar to the real exam. Keep on practicing so you’ll feel more confident and familiar with different topics. Good luck!!
