I was afraid of IELTS as naturally we're scared of all tests but I thought this was going to be way harder... I was wrong. I had only a week to prepare and got a band 7 overall. I just watched a few YouTube videos like this one, took practice tests on british council & IDP websites, and gave it a shot!

Also, the result came out the next day (super fast!). I gave a computer-based exam on 17 August, 24. Plus I was sure my speaking didn't go well but guess what, my score's the highest in it! I think there's lenient marking. I gave it through British Council.

Listening 7.5
Reading 6.5
Writing 6
Speaking 7

I must say listening was the easiest for me. One advice I'll give is to stick to paper-based if your typing's slow. I decided on computer one as I wanted the results early. Although my typing's way to slow, I managed somehow 😂

I'm a teacher of ESL and I'm impressed by the fluency and coherence of the students taking the test. I wouldn't be able to do it so well, not because of the language but because I don't think so fast. So it's clear that you have to organize your ideas beforehand. This has been very useful. Thanks a lot.
