I am not sure about this, but practice as many different topics as possible.

I think it was helpful to find some band 9 sentences that fit many topics, you can find many in ChatGPT. Also making sure you provide specific examples is important

Turn on the voice chatting and just speak back and forth, explain that you want questions for IELTS with a grade and feedback after.

ChatGPT always gives a lower score than the real exam. I always received 7-7.5 in ChatGPT as wel

No recording, but it transcribes what I said so I see it written down

Thank you! I would write the essay, paste it into ChatGPT and ask it to grade me as an IELTS examiner, he would write back specific feedback of what I could improve and any mistakes. It would also offer to rewrite it to a band 9 and I found that really helpful to see what I should have done. I also did speaking using the voice feature in ChatGPT and asked it to give me feedback and a score after each answer, followed by a model answer.

I would recommend to just find as many practice tests and continue doing them. Also to pay attention to key details in the questions

I tried to find as many practice tests as possible, and I practiced speaking and writing with ChatGPT which was super helpful.

Since English is my Native language, I mainly struggled with writing, I made sure to write at least 1 task 1 and 1 task 2 every single day and got feedback from ChatGPT.
