I don't understand, why people doing dislike, people who try to gives something useful if you don't like just stop watching.

I just want to say these videos are really helpful. My IELTS score was Listening 5.5 Reading 6.5 Writing 6 Speaking 6, and I have improved to 8/8/7.5/7.5. Thank you Emma you rock !

[@tazrianchowdhury3363]

hlw can u plz tell me what was your total band score for the first time

[@adhitomax]

@@tazrianchowdhury3363 Honestly I forgot, this was 4 years ago; I think the total band was 8 because they have the formula that rounds it up. The first one was 6 I think

Hey can you share your result with us after getting your score please 🙏

[@remistaom]

@@gulnora3443 Will do. Did the computer-based test, so should have to results today or tomorrow. Something horrible happened, though. During my listening test, as I was waiting for question 4, the IELTS instructor approached me and asked me to put the volume down as the girl next to me couldn't hear her's properly. I told him I couldn't put the volume lower; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to hear, and he left. I was confused and completely lost on the audio. Missed 3 questions!!! Very frustrating! They offered me a new test, but I would not receive those grades. I responded that I want my grades, but if I fail the test on listening only and by a small margin, I will look for my rights.

[@remistaom]

@@gulnora3443 got the results. Listening 6.0, writing 6.5, speaking 7.5, reading 7.0, overall 7.0 Not what I expected, but after what happened on my listening test, happy wasn't lower.

This can be explained by one of the two ways either you're practicing isn't done very well or you're running into new kinds of obstacles and challenges...

What did you do to get these scores beside watching their videos?

[@owaishanif8081]

Bro

[@ikafridi1811979]

I have studied English throughout my Schooling and University, however getting a good score in IELTS is all about understanding the exam technique which can be done only through the practice and comprehension. If you are a native English speaker or already good at English, is definitely going to be helpful but do not be overconfident that it will get you a higher band unless you practice ;-)

@3:23, Although each passage has its own difficulty, the marks you get will remain same regardless of question types. For those who think last passage is important and loose marks spending less time with first two passages, each passage has either about 13 or 14 questions. Do those passage thoroughly that you find are easy to solve.

[@williamtran9093]

Teacher, I love you and this video. You helped me so much in my reading tasks. Now I am so confident to deal with readings tasks. Before watched this video, I had hated reading tasks so much as the difficulties of them. But now, I can easily do the tasks well due to your suggestions. Eventually, I want to say that I love you

[@lebronjamesuit]

1. Read question first or read passage ( let's try) 2. Don't spend much time on ONE question 3. Spend more time on passage 3, less time on passage 1, 2 4. Make sure have enough time to answers 5( fifth) Three words or less 6. Speeling - pratice speeling alot 7. Grammar - after write, HAVE TO CHECK again grammar 8. Always read the instructions properly

8 is the most important

[@kernowbysvykken1]

True/False/Not Given T/F/NG Yes/No Are all acceptable answers on both the True,False, Not Given AND the Yes,No, Not Given tasks. So True and Yes are interchangeable and so are False and No.

the teacher that i love much! emma of the my heart.

[@scottsmith4136]

As a native speaker, I have to say the unfortunate thing about IELTS is the number of ambiguous questions there are, which are open to interpretation. The test format is, sadly, flawed. Having gone through some of the practice tests, it seems to me that some of questions have been written by someone who's native language is something other than English, which leads to ambiguity and is unfair. This is probably one of the reasons native students do struggle a little. For foreigners I can't imagine how difficult it must be. Still, at least you can all pay for the privilege of a re-test, at $350 a go, and make your contribution to the IELTS christmas party!

[@Furiospinosi]

+Scott Smith it's not very different in the reading paper for the Cambridge exams. They are tests and unfortunately they're made to test your ability to think and get out of tricky problems, not just testing your english.

[@RunwayCats]

+Scott Smith :'( im glad u noticed that. as a foreigner, these exams make me really nauseous even though i know i can pass them.

[@windkl]

Ability to think with the clock running against you?? Sounds more like iq test rather than certification knowledge test..Be afraid that you will not be able to finish in time and at the same time read questions that are not clear what is the right answer.. Unacceptable!

[@ahmedjabbar2820]

True, however, I also learnt that "practice test" tend to be a bit more difficult than the actual IELTS exams. I remember I was expecting the worst when I first went to the exam but actually ended up receiving an overall band score of 7.5. The problem is that I need a band 8 so I just have to try it again. When I got online to practice, since I didn't have the opportunity first time around, I realised that test exams that are found on the internet tend to be a lot more challenging than the ones you're actually tested with. I'm so glad I am aware of this since it could have been a very frustrating experience.

[@jamiephilip79]

I really found the practice questions hard to answer only because I find that the questions are open to interpretation

[@saigaming2469]

I really love the way you motivate everyone that they will do well in exams. This will really increase the confidence level of everyone who is watching this video before/on the test day.

Usually people suggest you to look at the questions and find them in the passages. This method will reduce your score in True/False/Not given type of question. I recommend you to read the passage since it'll give you a brief understanding and allows you to answer correctly.

Some of the IELTS questions on the test have the wrong IELTS answers. The other day I had to choose from TRUE, FALSE or NOT GIVEN. The question was : The moon and the sun were rising at nearly the same exact time. The text information was: The sun rises at the exact same time as the moon. So I selected FALSE because nearly exact time and exact same time is not the same. The practice IELTS marked my answer as WRONG and the official answer would be YES. I mean, this is utter bullshit, I hope when I go take the test, the IELTS won't fuck me over with stuff like that.

Dude, nothing is false unless it is contradictory or something else entirely. The example you have given was actually not given because the information not given or not same and you assumed it was the same. Never assume no matter how logical it sounds. If its not clearly give in the text no matter how logical it sounds it's always NOT Given. Okay now I read your correct answer was yes. My bad 😅
