Hey there! Congrats for the high score. I took the test 2 weeks ago and scored 155 so I def relate to what you went through. The tips in this video are pretty good - I'm sure future test takers will find them useful.

Your advice for the "write at least one sentence" is good but I'm going to go one above and say that it's best if you write as many sentences as you can. It gives you the opportunity to be both thorough and show diverse language which will definitely lead to a high score

For the speaking parts it is very important to practice speaking prior to the test in order to get yourself used to it. Also if you find yourself without anything to say but you still haven't passed the time limit, I suggest you think back to what you already have said and pick a sentence or a keyword and start conceptualizing ideas around them. Of course, make sure that what you're saying also makes sense because you can otherwise hurt your score.

For the "wrire more than 50 words" I suggest ignoring the fact that you have to go above a number of words because you will end up focusing mainly on that. It's better to mainly think about the idea or position you're trying to portray and focus on being as thorough as possible. Write about everything you're thinking of and back it up. If I'm not mistaken I got to 200 or 250 words this way.

Lastly I would suggest that on test day you are in a quiet and peaceful environment. Not just because you don't want to have your result nullified, but because when it is quiet you can focus on your test the best.

I've come here to say thank you. I watched several videos on tips and tricks on how to tackle this test, this video included. Usually, i got around 110-145 during the practice test, and tonight i got my results and got exactly 145.
A few tips:
Just like what she mentioned in the video, the "fill in the blank" questions are surprisingly challenging, so you might want to practice this question format so you can get a sense of how to comprehend this kind of question.
Another thing, It's probably no secret that the Production subscore is almost always the lowest out of all subscore. A few tips that i found useful are to learn how to tell a story and expand your answers, don't be too rigid about how you structure your sentences. Your grammar doesn't have to be perfect, just watch out for basic mistakes like not putting "ing" in a continuous tense, the use of "s" in singular, plural, he, she, it context, and when to use are/is (also related to singular and plural)

I scored 145 by following your tips. Many thanks to you! ☺️🙌

Hey. I saw this video of yours when I was stressing out very bad over this test and u just saved me srsly. I no longer stress out or be afraid of this by watching this video as your suggestions and encouragement really helped me a lot. Thanks for making this video and also rooting for you! XOXO

[miracle_igboke]

Thank you so much for these tips, Lily

[Thales]

Lily, thank you for your video and tips. I will attempt for it next month. 💫👍

[indecesiveman]

I love that you adressed the fill the blank questions. At my first test I got too stressed out since the fill the blank questions are completely at a different level than the practice test. The only thought in my head was that Im about to fail the test, then I messed up the whole test afterwards, luckily I took another test and got 135. From my experience, even if you are not doing good at those sections, You'll still have a good chance of getting a decent score so don't get stressed over one or two question since it can ruin the rest.
