I am from Bangladesh and I want to thank you guys for your amazing contents. I just followed your videos before the week of the exam and I got overall 7 (listening: 7, Reading 7.5, Speaking 7 and writing 6.5) I am greatful for tour support.

[@زهراء-ث1ز9ي]

Can you explain to me the mechanism of your study, how you studied and allocated your time, and how the questions were that I approached? I am facing this exam and I am afraid because I do not know how to deal with it

[@idharudahr89]

How please help

[@TangoMango-g4z]

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!

[@smamosawi9959]

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

[@pranaynijhawan9443]

My answer to 11th question was taxing while given answer was agricultural subsidies while for 10th question my answer was public while given answer was public support.

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

[@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.

[@E2IELTS]

Great job!

[@NabeelFarooqui]

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

[@hamayoonkhan8475]

Ma'am, I almost attempted 11 IELTS past tests, given a lot of time and average scores are 6.5. And my target is 7 but I am not improving since then, it is now discouraging me each hour passing...

[@qolfera2319]

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

[@taiwoolamide2301]

I know right? I actually picked "true cost accounting"😂

[@divyab13]

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?

[@qudzieluwain1491]

Wanted to ask the same Q

[@PragatiDhakal]

same question

[@devindersingh3767]

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

[@BarchinoyRamatova-hf5oy]

[@someonewbigdreams]

Bro i’m only 17 why do i have to deal with this

[@CattyStars]

Me too 💔

[@LivinWPurpose]

So you dont have to deal with it when your at 35😁

[@fuelsfornerds]

Trust me it's better you start young

[@stinkytoilet5492]

Exactly, I'm 16 I have to deal with. SAT, IELTS, scholarships, etc... because my family has no money. Why do we have to be judged and expected with the same tests? People are different, and a lot of those things we study can't be used in the real world. And I'm not talking engineers, doctors or what not who might wanna know all of those things. We do we all have to go thru the same path same tests. I feel no freedom in my education. Once the tests are completed, they are even more useless.

[@ahskoa]

yes your definitely right

[@pompom6675]

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

[@erikrosenberg5062]

I thought the same BUT the last part says "subsidies to encourage or discourage farming methods...Even though your "taxes and subsidies" is technically correct, it's not exactly given in the text. Hope that makes sense. Good luck!

[@paoloandmore]

Great callout! In fact, "taxes and subsidies" would be the most complete answer, and therefore I do believe it would be absolutely correct. However, it makes sense that using "subsidies" is sufficient. For the same reason using "taxes" should be sufficient (in fact I chose "taxes").

[@minbeykd9975]

I got a band 7.5 using E2 videos with regular practice. Thanks for your help

[@E2IELTS]

Congratulations @minbeykd9975!

[@tahmercynung2498]

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

[@MuhammadWaqar-v4r]

In question 11, will it not be both "subsidies and taxes" in the blank? Because the start of sentence is reward and punishment he suggested both.

[@AnitaLoring-pz6we]

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.

[@cygwanfogbe246]

Gbam! God bless you. This is the comment I was looking for. I have stirred my mind in all directions and I asked myself if English is that hard for me. The answer is No because according to the passage, food is more expensive now than in the past.

[@cygwanfogbe246]

Thank you, Anita. Huuuh relief!

[@ogoodenyi7734]

Same her oooo I don think tire

[@roamwithash833]

@@cygwanfogbe246 The passage means to say that the food "appears" to be cheaper but is actually not. Hence, answer yes because it says food "seems" to be cheaper. That will be my interpretation.

i also think that it should be "no"

[@diodemiseeguono7451]

GOT ALL EXCEPT ONE. THANKS SO MUCH

[@gttoom]

Based on the last 5 questions, the instructions say the I shouldn’t write more than 3 words.. so in this question specifically, I actually answered it as “sufficient public support” not only “public support “ cuz u know why would I ignore the word “sufficient “ if it won’t affect the maximum number of words I’ve to write. Unless the word sufficient refers to both public support and political will. So.. if I wrote “sufficient public support” instead of only “public support “ will I get the mark??? I’m concerned

[@noone-ki5yc]

I dont get question 11 ! It is supposed to be "taxing" no?
