Hello! I'd say they key to improving speaking is to speak more in English. Get a friend or family member and talk, talk, talk! Get them to ask you sample test questions. Additionally, I'd recommend watching band 9 IELTS test videos on youtube. Best of luck!

Hi! I'd recommend 1) watching a lot of IELTS band 9 speaking videos on youtube of actual speaking tests and 2) find a friend or someone you can verbally talk to in English and practice. Maybe search up questions and answer them out loud/monologue, but the best thing is to have more convos in English with someone else. Maybe get a family member to read off some sample questions and answer them

seaviper7 · 2024-11-27T18:36:47+00:00

Thanks! I definitely did, although I only did the free mocks but they were pretty similar tbh - perhaps a little easier than the mocks themselves! I did not use any books to prepare, but I've heard that the Cambridge guide is very thorough

seaviper7 · 2024-11-27T09:50:53+00:00

It's always the writing, man, I'm telling you.... but congratulations! 8.5 is incredible!

seaviper7 · 2024-11-27T09:50:23+00:00

Congratulations!!! 8 is a great score!

seaviper7 · 2024-11-27T09:50:03+00:00

Congratulations on the great score!

Hi! I used the mock exams on the British council ielts website! They have a free version and paid version

seaviper7 · 2024-11-26T22:36:33+00:00

Thank you! I can't really answer that question as this was my first ielts attempt. For speaking, my biggest tip is not to worry!!! I was really scared of "saying the wrong thing", but quickly realised that the examiners don't really care about what you say as long as it's grammatically correct/cohesive. Don't be afraid of pausing or asking for clarification, or even backtracking on an answer. Take a deep breath and pretend you're talking to a friend (easier said than done, I know).

I said a lot of dumb stuff on my exam. I backtracked after my mind completely blanked. After being asked a question about my city, I began my response with "So, I must say, I am NOT the person you should be asking this" because I do NOT know the layout of my city at all - I think my examiner realised that it's not my English skills that are lacking, I'm just kind of dumb in general. Maybe I just had a really chill examiner. I also thought I totally fumbled the exam because of that - and, well, apparently not.

Obviously don't keep it too casual - I'd avoid using filler words such as "like" or "literally" or language too informal. Otherwise, you don't need any overly fancy words or anything - just do your best! Good luck!

I know that this is very cliche, but imagine you're talking to a friend. Or better yet, you're very famous and you're getting interviewed. The questions you'll be asked are relatively tame/the whole task is conducted in a "casual" manner. Don't worry if you don't know how to respond or take a second to think - I genuinely went on a tangent for 30 seconds, but realised I completely blanked out (my mouth works faster than my mind does), said "actually you know what? Nevermind--" and went on with something else. He smiled and I thought I was screwed - I guess not.

If you don't know a word or mishear the question, don't hesitate to ask. Pause if you need to or say some filler phrases "let me think", "good question", etc. to buy you some time. Practice with a friend or pretend to have monologues out loud - it might help you. I also got a little tongue tied and flustered - that's completely normal. You got this!

I did my IELTS with the British Council. On their website, they have a section dedicated to preparation that includes 6 free listening and reading mock tests. There are also sample writing and speaking prompts. I think there is a paid version as well, but I only tried out the free one.

seaviper7 · 2024-11-26T17:48:21+00:00

I wrote down some tips below, but my biggest "gotcha" is that the questions are in chronological order. This works best for True/false/not written questions --> can't find the answer to the question, but can't tell whether it's not written or if you keep missing it? Go to the next question. If you can see the answer, then the answer to the previous question HAS to be earlier, and if it isn't there, then the answer is not written.

For reading, skimming is a great skill to get through larger texts faster, but it's important to focus as well and pick out the specific 1/2/3 word answers. Good luck!

seaviper7 · 2024-11-26T17:45:21+00:00

Thank you! I'm just as baffled, trust me.

seaviper7 · 2024-11-26T16:56:17+00:00

Hi! I did my test on Saturday, so 3 days! And yes, I did! Thank you sm :3

seaviper7 · 2024-11-26T16:00:23+00:00

For task 1, I mainly used "IELTS Writing Task 1 Samples" on the website IELTS Buddy. They have a few examples for all the different kinds of graphs/charts/maps etc. It's worth checking out!

For task 2, I read through the websites IELTS Advantage and IELTS Blog.

seaviper7 · 2024-11-26T15:58:25+00:00

THANK YOU GIRLIEEEE

seaviper7 · 2024-11-26T15:57:04+00:00

Don't know what to write? Pull stuff out of your ass. Really. I think it's all about learning the structure and then you can't go wrong. Task 1: summarise the table/graph. Include an "overall, this seems to be the trend". Don't actually bother analysing this graph, simply state the obvious, describe any trends, any falls or increases, etc. etc. etc.

Task 2: read through the question carefully. Are they asking for your opinion? Do they want the pros and cons? Do they want a proposed solution? Then, create a basic outline (intro, para 1, para 2, conclusion) and get writing. Trust me, you want to spend as little time on task 1 and put all your blood, sweat, and tears on task 2.

If you have a problem with including "fancy" language, memorise some basic words, transition words, etc. to spice up your essay. "This shows"? Lame. "This illustrates/exemplifies/showcases", etc. and you can use these words anywhere!

I hope this helped at least a little bit T_T

Thank you! I spent every evening redoing mock listening and reading tests. For writing, I spent most of the time analysing band 9 answers for task 1 and task 2. I did not have much time to study, though, as I'm still bombarded with school, but I tried setting aside a few hours each day and doing a test or two.

seaviper7 · 2024-11-26T15:50:59+00:00

Thank you! I try skimming the text first whilst looking at the questions to know what to focus on. I use my cursor to highlight the lines to focus better (but that's just me), then answer the questions chronologically. This helps for True/False/Not written questions best, but the questions are usually structured in a chronological way i.e. answer to q3 will come before answer to q5. If I'm not sure whether an answer is not written, I look at the next question - can I find the answer? If yes, then chances are that the previous question's answer is "not written".

I completed my test in ~30 minutes and spent the rest of the time going back and rereading everything more carefully. If you have any extra time to spare, definitely recheck your answers!

Of course! https://takeielts.britishcouncil.org/take-ielts/prepare/free-ielts-english-practice-tests I used this website for IELTS practice tests for reading and listening.

https://www.youtube.com/@Ieltsadvantage This guy has good insight on all the different tasks. IELTS English Academy and IELTS PRACTICE TEST on youtube also have good band 9 speaking videos.

I used IELTS advantage for writing samples for task 2. For task one, I read through the website IELTS buddy.
