Writing - 8.0
Speaking - 7.5
overall - 8.5
Thank you so much E2 IELTS! I'm positive I couldn't have gotten these scores on my first attempt without your great advice, especially with regards to speaking and writing.

E2 Language team you are best!
I paid attention to all your postings in 2 weeks time. I was expecting Band 6 but I was pleasantly surprised when I got band 7.5 overall with 7.5 (speaking), 7.5 (Listening), 7.0 (Reading), 7.5 (writing).
English is my third language and I just followed all your advice.
For speaking, I used Jays method of PPF. But time run out so I did not speak about the "Future". Honestly 2 minutes seemed so short in part 2 because I was ready for juicy stories using PPF. If PPF won't be applicable due to the nature the question, use Alex's advice of giving examples while remaining within the same topic.
Writing was not easy and 60 minutes seemed like 15 minutes in the test room. Just follow Jay's ideas and memorize the required format but not the words.
When I was doing reading I was just hearing Alex's voice in my head telling me "just skim and paraphrase".
Exam day - Just relax and try to have fun and not think of it as a test. When you are stuck, try to remember Alex and Jay and what they taught you.

One thing I wanted to point out based on my computer based exam experience that I have to make notes of the fill in the blank questions as it took much lesser time than filling in the answer directly on the computer. Else i would have definitely missed on answering some of the questions

[saadal-din]

Thanks a million ton ❤❤, I was able to do well with band 7.0, I referred to your listening and reading part I got 7.5 in it, however there was time crunch I could not look in writing where I got 6.5, and speaking I got 7.0 only after seeing you videos..
In just 1 week I prepared I got overall 7.0, i strongly recommend everyone to see the tutorials atleast a month ahead you guys can score 7 plus with there help
Thank you, lots of love

I’ve been studying for the past 2 weeks and I am so mentally exhausted. Can’t wait to get this over with.

[aminughani]

Thank you for this. What's the best way to tackle the listening do you write down and then transfer after the forty questions. Or after each section you transfer what you wrote. Any tips on how to handle the multiple choice questions and how to hear all that is said

[stanleyng]

Hi there, what does it mean "write no more than two words and/or a number"? Can you please give examples? thank you. Also, are "5 meters" and "five meters" both acceptable?

[vamsicopesetty]

I have one question is it okay to write in all capital letters in listening and reading in computer based ielts

[faiziaayyub]

[avni]

i was doing some practice tests for listening computer based and my answers were correct but still they were marked wrong on computer . for example the answer was about time - i type - 8:05 and it shows incorrect and correct answer should be 8.05 . it scared me . is it same in exam as well ?

[gurvinderkaur]
