[@mayurihendre227]

While typing aren't we allowed to look at keyboard ?

[@samitghosh686]

Dear Sir, I only followed your videos. I had 7.5 overall in IELTS GT.Hence, had some confidence also. After my real test, I was infurated and so much unhappy with my performance that I literally kicked in my stomach.However, got 140 overall (140,140,130,130). I thank you very much, and as a friendly advice to fellow test takers if they can remain calm even with intermidiate hick ups and one or two much worse than expected sectional performance, can achieve a good score. Just for a general nderstanding here is a bit synopsys of what I did wrong 1. Forgot to record one speaking sentence until last 5 seconds then spoke very fast but could not complete 2. Messed up one dictation which was really wrong, and received all small sentences later on 3. Wrongly filled up at least 3 words in two of the fill in the gaps 4. Fumbled a lot during the speaking tests However, I wrote 136 words in the min 50 words writing test, and wrote 3 sentences in each of the 3 writing tasks which I got one after another in the begining..There was no image recognition test.

[@TeacherLuke-DET]

Wow 140 is fantastic!! Well done :)
