I just got my result today. An overall band of 7 (L=7.5, R=7, W=7, S=7). A huge thanks to the E2 IELTS team for all the guides and the videos. Thank you! ❣

In the section 9:39. The correct answer should be Not given. Why?
The passage does not mention whether the moa and the dodo inhabited adjacent habitats. It only states that the moa was widespread in New Zealand.It is possible that they did inhabit adjacent habitats, but it is also possible that they did not.

Thank you E2 team for all your lessons. You all deserve accolades. Reading-9, Listening-8.5, Speaking-8, Writing-7.5.. Overall 8.5

(11:18) I don't seem to understand as to why the answer to question 5 is 'false' but the answer to question 6 is 'not given'. The text does not refute the possibility of the moa and dodo inhabiting adjacent habitats. However, question 6 is 'not given' because the text doesn't mention dodo bones being found in significant amounts. What makes question 5 false and question 6 not given, provided that they both share the same characteristic; the text not explicitly agreeing nor disagreeing with the expression.

why is the answer to question 5 (in the second practice passage) not "not given"? The passage does not say anything about where the two birds inhabited. It does not say that the two birds used to live far from each other.

I hope the whole team knows how helpful these videos are. I got an 8.5 overall and your mock test videos and tips to approach particular parts of the reading and writing sections were invaluable. Thank you for making the time and effort to create these videos. You guys rock.

[PlantBiotechGuy]

Shouldn't the answer for question 5 in T/F/NG about Moa be "Not given" ? Because the paragraph doesn't say anything about the habitat of Dodo.

[HyperCS]

For 5th initial question, The passage does not have any information about whether Dodo and Moa lived in adjacent habitats, so shouldn't the answer be NOT GIVEN instead of FALSE?

[hsbloch]

I got 7 bands in IELTS Academic by the blessings of Allah Almighty and yes with a lot of guidance from your videos ❤️
I hit 7.5, 7.5, 6.0 in LRW and 6.5 in speaking.

Hi E2 Team! I promised myself to come back after I received my official IELTS score. I was sad because on test day there are technical errors on listening test and felt lost when speaking test because the questions are out of the box. Your videos help me so much during less than two weeks preparation to improve so many aspects of my IELTS skills. I received an overall 7 band because of you guys. Thank you very much for all the useful tips and advices, all the best for E2 team and other IELTS test takers!

Hey! You need to come up with more videos on mcq in reading. That would really help. You people are impeccable teachers❤

[ilaydatolu]

I have a question. I did not understand 10:26. In the 5th option, it does not show contradictory but you have answered as False. I would select the Not Given option because there is no information about whether they lived in adjacent habitats. In the text, only it mentioned they listed alongside but no information about their habitats. Can you explain?

[stellaselassie]

Am most grateful for this. My test is in 3 months time and I believe with your tutorials, I shall get my good score

[aguilarcast]

Thanks for the video. In the statement- The moa an the dodo inhabited adjacent habitats for me is the answer is not given because it's not contradicting the info in the text "The moa is often listed alongside the dodo for de extinction"

[wang_yijie]

12:34 Help! For “The moa and the dodo inhabited adjacent habitats”, I think the answer should be “Not Given” instead of “False”, as there isn’t information about their habitats that contradicts the statement. Am I wrong?

[glamour]

Thank you to everyone at E2! Your videos were so helpful. I just got my results L=9 R=7.5 W=7 S=9 Overall= 8

Putting up my results cos those of others encouraged me so much.
