Hey, after years, I came here to see how is Jay, that I owe him too much for the time I had been studying for IELTS and now its been 2 years since I am in Australia. a big thank to E2 team, many things has changed since the time I was away from this channel.

HI, for the question, " food seems to be more afforadable than in the past", isn't the correct answer NO, as the sentence says, we are actually paying
more?

[staceykamau]

Hi, I can't put into words how much your videos helped me. I had 5 days to get ready for my IELTs test, and i had never read anything prior to this. I'm so glad I got an 8.5 in reading, 8.5 in Listening, 7.0 in Speaking, and 6.5 in writing. Overall score 7.5. My school pass mark was a 7. I'm over the moon! Keep doing this! Thankyou!

Why isn't 11 "taxes and subsidies"? The statement is talking about punishment and rewards. Not just rewards

[christianlim]

LET ME BE YOUR TESTIMONIAL. Hey guys, Indonesian with okay-level english here trying to make some testimonial for this channel. Im currently watching your contents to learn the general IELTS test and will be taking the test tmr, the result will come out 3-5 days later. Will comeback and show the result right after I got the result! See ya

I was watching your video on the True Cost Accounting reading passage and got a bit confused about the answer for question 2. You mentioned that the answer is “YES, ” which means food is more affordable now than before. But when I read the passage, especially part C, it says that the real cost of food is actually higher than what we see upfront because of all the hidden costs.

Could you help me understand how you got to “YES” as the answer? I just want to make sure I’m getting this right for my studies.

[smamosawi]

You are doing such a nice job. God bless you.

[devindersingh]

In question 3, they talked about the production of fertilizers not the cost, shouldn't it be not given?

[MeerabSaif-on]

I just have to do IELTS because I have to get a place in University here in Uk

[pompom]

Why 11 is not “taxes and subsidies”? Taxes are punishment, subs are reward. See the last sentence of the text.

[EvelynChileshe-uyrc]

Can I pass just by watching practice test from your channel, because am only practicing with British council called gel ielts?

[marineelire]

I got 10 out of 13. Thanks for practice test. Sometimes, honestly, mostly it is hard to make yourself practice, although your video made me practice in a more entertained way.

[Tareqrahman-st]

ques 2, is not the answer supposed to be 'No' ? here the statement says food is right now more affordable, while in the paragraph we are observing we are paying more price than earlier time,

am I right?

[tam_tam]

I mentioned “increased” instead of SKY ROCKETED in Q8. Is that correct?

[qolfera]

question 11 - is a trap kind of question (the easier to find the linking keyword the higher the chance it is the incorrect answer), IELTS mock tests are more tricky than this

[tahmercynung]

I had 9 out of 11 and for the second text had 1 out of 2. This was my first reading practice

[shahabrabbanimalik]

This is not original test and thats why maybe too easy to do. Real ielts looks more complicated and will have more than 11 questions. Appreciate explaining time management.
