Dear Friends
I have been practicing listening tests from Cambridge book -5 & 7.
In this practice tests I managed to do 29/30/31 right answers out of 40 questions. Baring this in mind I booked my test with IDP because I was told IDP IELTs is easier then Cambridge. Is it true?? Will I mange to right 33 answers in my real test to get 7.5 bands?? Please give some suggestions how I can improve my score. My test is on comming saturday at hyderabad, india.
Advanced thanks.

There are way too many mistakes in your writing, dude.

Here are some common mistakes you need to avoid:
1) Noun: advice. Verb: advise.
2) Noun: practice. Verb: practise.
3) Band, not bands. There is only 1 overall band in IELTS.
4) You take a test or sit an exam. You do NOT give an exam. Teachers give students exams.
5) You make a suggestion and give advice.

As far as listening is concerned, practise listening to English/Australian accents on YouTube.
